MCU23/0101 Application For Short-term Accommodation At 561 Gympie Kin Kin Road, Kin Kin · Attachment 2 – (MCU23/0101) – Planning Officer’S Report

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                    11 JUNE 2024

process to enable significant weight to be given to the proposed changes for the subject
application. As such, although it is acknowledged that the proposed form of short-term
accommodation (within the primary dwelling) is not supported under the planning scheme
amendments, these changes cannot be taken into consideration at this point of the application
process.
6.   CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
It is concluded that the proposed short-term accommodation is consistent with Noosa Plan 2020,
being identified as a consistent use in the Rural Zone and compliant with the scheme’s applicable
codes.
While the site is less than 4ha specified by the acceptable outcome of the Visitor Accommodation
Code, the proposal is setback from neighbouring dwellings, achieving the separation intended by
the minimum site area, and this will ensure the use does not detract from the character and amenity
of the local area.
The conditioned maximum number of guests will also assist in managing potential amenity impacts
and a condition is recommended restricting the use of outdoor areas after 9pm. On site car parking
will meet the likely demands of the use with safe access provided from Gympie Kin Kin Road.
The application is therefore recommended for approval with conditions.
