permanent resident could short stay let their principal place of residence when they were away
for no more than 4 times and 60 days a year as accepted development subject to requirements.
Short-term accommodation was only an inconsistent and impact assessable use if located in
the High Density Residential zone adjoining or over the road from a Major Centre zone.
This was a different approach from the first draft which identified short-term accommodation
as only being consistent within the map area and an inconsistent use outside of the map area
to protect new multiple dwelling stock for permanent residents.


Tourist Accommodation zone
In the second draft a permanent resident in the Tourist Accommodation zone could make their
principal place of residence available as short-term accommodation for no more than 4 times
and 60 days a year as accepted development subject to requirements. Beyond that it was
typically code assessable although on various significant sites the use of short-term
accommodation required impact assessment.
Multiple dwellings for permanent residents were subject to impact assessment in this zone,
and on many sites, including all of Hastings Street, were inconsistent.
No further changes were made to the tables of assessment in the zone, however in response
to submissions there were some changes to the allocation of the Tourist Accommodation zone.
Properties to the north of Noosa Parade, east of Munna Crescent and including Woorookool
Place and Barbados Crescent were included in the Medium Density Residential zone rather
than the Tourist Accommodation zone.
The Islander Resort at 185 Gympie Terrace Noosaville was also proposed for inclusion within
the Tourist Accommodation zone rather than the Medium Density Residential zone.


Rural Residential zone
In the second draft, short-term accommodation was a consistent impact assessable use in the
Rural Residential zone. A permanent resident could short stay let their principal place of
residence when they were away for no more than 4 times and 60 days a year as accepted
development subject to requirements.


Rural zone
In the second draft, short-term accommodation was code assessable use in the Rural zone
where on at least 4ha, accommodating no more than 12 guests if in a single dwelling or no
more than 4 cottages / cabins etc. housing 8 guests. A permanent resident could short stay let
their principal place of residence when they were away for no more than 4 times and 60 days
a year as accepted development. If not meeting either of these requirements the use was
consistent but impact assessable.


2.8.2.1 Public consultation issues
Following public notification of the second draft NP2020, just over 600 submissions were
received, of which three quarters addressed short-term accommodation. Approximately 50%
of the submissions relating to short-term accommodation were various templates/proformas
supporting particular interest groups which circulated widely amongst residents, property
owners and business owners.
A range of commercial interest issues raised were comprehensively considered, however the
growing residential amenity / community and housing supply issues around short-term
