small dwelling housing stock, by allowing short term accommodation. The Centres zones will
become a key part of the provision of future housing supply and small dwellings and should
be retained for this purpose as a priority over any provision of tourist accommodation.
Short-term accommodation for temporary workers / non-resident workforce who are not
necessarily tourist should also be considered further.


3.2.3 Local plans
The Local Plan Codes provide more detail in terms of the specific development and landuse
outcomes sought for each locality. Overall, there is inconsistency between the desired landuse
outcomes as they are discussed for each zone and specific locations and the overarching zone
provisions and tables of assessment. In particular, the outcomes in the locations related to the
provision of permanent dwellings and short term and tourist accommodation are not supported
by the range of consistent uses in the zones.
Specifically, the outcomes sought for permanent housing in the Medium and High Density
Residential zones is not supported by the tables of assessment, which compromise this
outcome by allowing for short term accommodation in the zones.
A brief overview of the outcomes sought by each local plan is outlined below.


3.2.4.1 Hinterland Villages
Hinterland villages of Pomona, Cooran, Kin Kin and Boreen Point are described as vibrant
rural or lakeside villages with unique character and identity. Development is to maintain the
rural amenity enjoyed by both residents and visitors and businesses provide for residents and
visitors.
In Boreen Point, development remains small and water activities attracts tourists to the area.
3.2.4.2 Cooroy
Cooroy is described as a vibrant energetic town centre which supports both hinterland
residents and visitors. Development is to maintain the country town feel and whilst low to
medium density semi-attached housing is to be dispersed through residential neighbourhoods.
Visitor accommodation and tourist attractions are to be compatible with the character of the
area.
3.2.3.3 Tewantin
Tewantin is described as a vibrant traditional town influenced by its heritage and river setting
with low key and low rise buildings. The outcomes sought for the town centre support both
residents and visitors and mixed use development with residential uses. Despite its gateway
role to Noosa North Shore the outcomes state Tewantin is home for permanent residents
without “substantial: short term accommodation”. Specifically, it states the Low Density
Residential zone is for permanent residents and the medium density residential zone provides
for a diversity of housing types for permanent residents.
3.2.3.4 Noosaville
Noosaville is identified as having a role in providing much of the commercial, retail ,
administrative and social needs of the coastal urban area and a major focus for visitor
accommodation and services. Small dwellings in a mixed use format are identified for the
District Centre zone.
The Low Density Residential zone is identified as primarily accommodating permanent
residents in detached houses. Bed and Breakfast accommodation can locate in residential
zones.
