                                                             residential dwellings.
  The proposal is contrary to the Noosa Plan which
  states: "Development contributes to the lifestyle
  and amenity of residents and visitors in the coastal
  communities."
  Peregian Beach is special because of its strong,
  connected and resilient community and every
  additional conversion of a residential property to
  short term letting is another nail in the coffin of this
  community.
  Permanent housing needs to be protected

                                                             Due to the limited distance between the garage
