Council’s Principal Place of Residence declaration process requires supporting evidence to
verify that an owner resides at the property.

4. Relevance to the Planning Application

The above material confirms that 122 Musa Vale Road is the principal place of residence of one
of the owners/applicants.

The planning scheme does not require all owners to occupy the site as their principal place of
residence. The relevant Code assessable criterion is satisfied because the proposed short-term
accommodation is located on the same site as the principal place of residence of one of the
owners/applicants.

On that basis, the application is properly made as a Code assessable Material Change of Use
for Short-term accommodation.
