The highest concentration of short term accommodation is along and around Noosa River and
Gympie Terrace, however short-term accommodation dwellings are also scattered throughout
the Low Density Residential zone, particularly in Noosa Waters and areas close to the river.
26.4% of the total residential rated dwelling stock in Noosaville are being used fort short-term
accommodation with a significant 53% of the dwellings located in a residential zone. With
changes made to zones under NP2020, this is down from 88% with a number of sites being
included now in the Tourist Accommodation zone, however a significant number of short term
accommodation dwellings are still located in residential zones in Noosaville.
