PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                  10 AUGUST 2021


The area zoned Medium Density Residential is predominantly being used for visitor accommodation.
The medium density residential neighbourhood within proximity of the subject site contains at least
50% of dwellings being used for the purpose of short-term accommodation. Furthermore, there are
numerous properties which have a development approval issued prior to the Noosa Plan 2006 which
provides for the dwelling units to be used interchangeably for permanent or short-term
accommodation.
Increasing visitor accommodation in this area is likely to further impact on the amenity of remaining
permanent residents and impact on the availability of dwelling units for permanent residents.
There is no need for additional visitor accommodation in the area.
The proposal is also not consistent with the Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f) of the
Visitor Accommodation Code and is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed by residents given
resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.

     The large deck of 4 Teal Street significantly
     overlooks a number of surrounding properties,
     including ours, and enjoys a great ocean view. This
     is likely to lead to excessive noise from parties etc
     travelling to the surrounding properties, especially
     those downhill/towards the ocean.

     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.
