4.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use a dwelling house for short-term accommodation purpose. The dwelling
house is located approximately 900 metres from the Peregian village.
The proposal is contrary to the planning scheme which 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 the Coastal Communities area, under which
the Noosa Plan provisions do not seek to increase visitor accommodation and seeks to provide multi-
unit accommodation for both permanents and visitors. As such, the proposal does not comply with
a number of provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020.
There is no need for additional visitor accommodation in the area and the potential amenity impacts
resulting from the use of the subject site for the purpose of short term accommodation is likely to
further erode the residential amenity and neighbourhood for permanent residents in the area.
Accordingly, the application is recommended for refusal.
