PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    10 AUGUST 2021


Notably Part 1, section 1.5 of the Noosa Plan 2020 states local plan codes (i.e. Coastal Communities
Local Plan Code) prevails over zone codes (i.e. High Density Residential Zone Code), use codes
and other development codes to the extent of any inconsistency. This provides for different
requirements to be established for different areas of the Shire but which may be zoned the same.
The Coastal Communities Local Plan Code, the Medium Residential Zone Code and Visitor
Accommodation Code all contain requirements for short term accommodation. The relevant
provisions are:
