PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   7 SEPTEMBER 2021


4.3    Public Notification
The application was publicly notified for 15 business days in accordance with the Planning Act 2016.
No properly made submissions were received.

5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use 2 x duplexes (4 x dwelling units), situated within the Medium Density
Residential Zone, for the purpose of short-term accommodation. The planning scheme seeks to
prioritise the preservation of medium density residential neighbourhoods for predominantly
permanent residential dwellings and seeks to protect the amenity of surrounding residential areas
from the impacts of short-term accommodation. Whilst acknowledging that short-term
accommodation has been identified as a consistent use within the applicable zone, the subject site
is located within an area that is not considered to be predominantly permanent residential and as
such does not comply with a number of provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020. Additional visitor
accommodation is not needed in the area and is likely to further erode the residential amenity for
permanent residents in the area. Accordingly, the application is recommended for refusal.
