2.6.4.5 Noosa North Shore
The overall outcomes for Noosa North Shore had more to say about the range and type of
visitor accommodation but less to say about permanent residents. A range of low key visitor
accommodation types were envisaged including a hotel, caravan park, camp grounds and
other built accommodation.
Residents and rural residential home site were focused along Noosa River.
Whilst Noosa North Shore was to accommodate a range of visitor accommodation and
experiences, the mix between residents and visitors was less likely as housing for permanent
residents were in locations further removed from visitor activities.


2.6.4.6 Boreen Point, Kin and Cootharaba
Boreen Point, Kin and Cootharaba focused on providing for both residents and visitors.
Sustainable visitor accommodation and tourist development compatible with environment was
envisaged. Commercial activities were primarily to focus on the day to day needs of residents
and to a lesser degree visitors.


2.6.4.7 Cooroy & Lake Macdonald
Cooroy and Lake Macdonald were identified as a rural settlement and surrounds for permanent
residents with a high level of residential amenity, however appropriate visitor accommodation
tourist development compatible with the environment was also envisaged.


2.6.4.8 Mary River Catchment
The Mary River Catchment was identified for residents, however sustainable visitor
accommodation and tourist developments compatible with the environment was also
envisaged.


2.6.4.9 Cooroibah
Cooroibah was identified as an area for rural residential development and a concentration of
residents. Visitor accommodation was identified as focusing on the camp ground, small cabin
parks and bed and breakfast style accommodation.

2.6.5 Definitions
The landuse definitions in NP2006 that influenced residential and visitor accommodation
outcomes specifically included:

   •   multiple housing
   •   visitor accommodation
These definitions are contained in Appendix 5 to this report and discussed below.

2.6.5.1 Detached house
The definition for a “detached house” legally allowed for interchangeable use for long term
occupation by permanent residents or short-term use by visitors. However, the widespread
use of detached houses for commercial short-term use was never envisaged by the authors
of NP2006.
