Documents in support of NOTICE OF SUBMISSION
File No: MCU20/0119.
Land as advertised: 1/20 Nannygai Street Noosaville. Lot 1 on SP297618.
Nature of Proposed Development: Short-term accommodation.
Submitter: Paul John MARTIN
I have read the documents provide on the Noosa Council website, relevant to MCU20/0119, prior to
making this submission. I have also read and considered other information relevant to this
submission.
The following information is offered to support a case for Noosa Council when undertaking the
required Impact Assessment, to refuse Application MCU20/0119.
General considerations:
Nannygai Street is in the Medium Density Residential Zone under Noosa Plan 2020. The 2020 Plan
has removed the restriction on short term accommodation, which under Plan 2006 was 60 days
per year on four occasions. It seems that under Noosa Plan 2020, a resident can seek approval to
lease their home, on a daily basis, for 365 days per year on AirBnB or the like. There is no
requirement for the resident to occupy the home. It is noted that Short-term accommodation in
medium density residential zones requires approval which is conditional on an Impact Assessment.
Noosa Plan 2020, potentially makes owning dwelling in a medium density residential zone of Noosa,
a business, not a dwelling.
Having lived in Nannygai Street since moving to Noosaville in 2015, I have observed a number of old
dwellings being replaced with new duplexes. I own a duplex in Nannygai Street which is used as a
permanent residence. Nannygai Street is a quiet, residential neighbourhood, predominantly
occupied by permanent residents. Nearby, other medium density zones exist, for example Bluefin
Court, Ketch Place, parts of Lake Weyba Drive; Weyba Road between Reef Street and Lake Weyba
Drive. There are also two retirement villages on Lake Weyba Drive. These are also occupied by
permanent residents.
The total number of existing duplexes and single dwellings, in this area, is currently greater than 80.
There are an additional 6 or 7 older dwellings that may follow the trend and be replaced with new
duplexes. This means there could be 80 or 90 potential applications for Short-term accommodation,
leading to a daily increase on several hundred short-term visitors in the area. If Noosa Council begins
a process of approving short term accommodation, this will lead to a very slippery slope whereby
the amenity of the area would become a ‘tourist-town’, not the residential area it is today.
Nannygai Street is used by vehicle traffic to and from Lake Weyba Drive, Creek and Koel Streets, as it
provides direct access via Anchor Street to Weyba road in a westerly direction. Nannygai Street also
provides a direct link for pedestrian and personal mobility traffic to and from Noosaville Village and
Bluefin Court to the commercial area on Weyba Road consisting of a coffee shop, restaurants, Aldi,
medical centre, bike shop, Arts theatre, Farmers Market and the walking tracks through Weyba
Bridge Park. Pedestrians, including elderly citizens from the retirement village (several using mobility
scooters), dog-walkers, cyclists, skateboarders and e-scooters are commonly observed in Nannygai
Street.
Page 2 of 16
Page 3
Notice of submission MCU20/0119
Nannygai Street is narrow street, approximately 8m wide, with no parking restrictions. Many
vehicles are parked in the street on any given day, particularly overnight. Movement along Nannygai
Street must be done with care, be it car or persons. In excess of 50% of the footpaths on either side
of Nannygai Street are not paved. This means a lot of pedestrians, elderly mobility scooter riders,
dog-walkers, skateboarders use the road in preference to the unpaved footpaths.
Any increase in population density in Nannygai Street and surrounds that could result from Noosa
Council approving Short-term accommodation, would lead to more congestion and impact on the
personal safety of residents in the area.
Infrastructure:
Over recent weeks, sewerage pumping station, SPS NVL008, situated on the corner of Weyba
Road/Mary and Reef Streets has emanated an odour of sewage. As mentioned above the process of
Noosa Council approving unlimited short-term accommodation will lead to a greater impact on local
infra-structure, particularly the sewerage system. If SPS NVL008 is already overloaded the
consequence of greater demand could be problematic, to say the lease. Noosa Council is urged to
work with Unity Water as part of the Impact Assessment for any applications for Short-term
accommodation in the area and request an upgrade to facilities if needed.
It is recommended that Noosa Council examine the general statements stated above when
undertaking the Impact Assessment for MCU20/0119.
Specific considerations for MCU20/0119
Unit 1, 20 Nannygai Street was purchased in August 2020, three weeks after Noosa Council adopted
Noosa Plan 2020. Application MCU20/0119, seeking a Material change of use (Short-Term
Accommodation) was made shortly after. This property has no existing rights of use for short-term
accommodation under Noosa Plan 2006.
Application MCU20/0119 suggests that the purchase of 1/20 Nannygai Street was for business
purposes, not residential. In support of this contention, 1/20 Nannygai Street is advertised for short
term lease on Noosa Luxury Holidays website
(https://www.noosaluxuryholidays.com.au/property/1-20-nannygai-street-noosaville/) (Attachment
1) at $350 – 900 per night. The Noosa Luxury Holidays website describes the property thus: “This
property is excellent for a large family, group of friends or four couples.” Four couples or a group of
up to eight friends, could mean an addition of 4 or more motor vehicles on the site.
Site Parking: The Council approved plan for 1/20 Nannygai Street shows a double garage
(Attachment 2). The building plan approved by Noosa Council in April 2018, MCU18/0021.01
(Attachment 2, p1) shows an area at the rear of the garage, described as ‘Bike parking’. The plan of
the site submitted with MCU20/0119, Appendix A, Page 3 of 8 (Attachment 2, p2), seems to use the
same image but the ‘Bike parking’ has been redacted and replace with ‘UNIT 1’. Firstly, this may
mean Application MCU20/0119 contains misleading information and secondly, it indicates that the
extent of the on-site parking approved by Council in MCU18/0021.01, has been compromised.
Having inspected the property 1/20 Nannygai Street during the ‘for-sale open for inspection period’,
I can confirm that the ‘Bike parking’ has been changed to be a media room, with access from the
living area and not the garage. This is confirmed in the floorplan used in advertising the property for
sale (Attachment 2, p3) and the Noosa Luxury Holiday website description of the property which
specifically mentions a media room in the list of amenities (Attachment 1). Other than the garage,
there is no additional on-site parking at 1/20 Nannygai Street. The street frontage of the property
Page 3 of 16
Page 4
Notice of submission MCU20/0119
provides a cross-over access to the garage which limits the street parking associated with the
property to 7.5 meters, sufficient for only one vehicle. Parking a vehicle on the drive, blocks access
to and from the garage.
I disagree with the statement made by Martoo Consulting in their Planning Report 2020
accompaniun MCU20/0119, which states on Page 12 of 15: “The development provides a total of two
spaces on site with a tandem space provided in the driveway.”
Experience over the early December, 2020 period, when the property was occupied for the first
time, has seen only one vehicle housed in the garage and several on the street frontage. See image
below:
This highlights the impracticability of the statement made in the Martoo report.
Short term visitors tend to take the easy option when parking as they may want frequent access to
their vehicle. If the property is approved for short-term accommodation, there is every likelihood
that visitor will place additional parking pressure on Nannygai Street, exacerbating vehicle related
problems.
Short-term holiday makers tend to bring additional items such as boats, kayaks, surfboards, bikes,
scooters and the like. These may be fixed to the roof of a car or towed. This further encourages
short-term holiday makers to park on the street rather and in a garage due to garage door height
restrictions. Further, these items would ideally be stored in the ‘Bike parking’ had it not been
modified to a ‘media room’.
Noosa Council is urged to inspect the property to confirm the removal of bike parking from the
approved building plan (MCU18/0021.01) and give major consideration to the parking issues
associated with the property in the Impact Assessment for MCU20/0119.
In Attachment 3, I have provided some images to support the points made in this submission which I
urge Noosa Council to consider in the Impact Assessment.
Noise: Short term holiday visitors tend to entertain. 1/20 Nannygai Street as featured on Noosa
Luxury Holiday rentals with a swimming pool and BBQ, which are situated at the back of the house.
The pool is adjoining the pool in the other duplex, 2/20 Nannygai Street and in close proximity to the
duplex at 18 Nannygai Street. Noise from groups of up to 8 adults enjoying a holiday and utilising the
outside entertainment area would impact adversely on the peace and quiet of neighbouring
properties. This is not to suggest it would a ‘party house’ just the normal holiday conversation with
laughter would impact on what is a very quiet area, particularly in the evenings.
Short-term accommodation vs the purpose of Medium Density residential zone:
Page 4 of 16
Page 5
Notice of submission MCU20/0119
I have read Section 6.3.2.2 of Part 6, Noosa Plan 2020,
(https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/downloads/file/2428/part-6-zones ) and have commended in [italics
in square brackets] below against each point in S6.3.2.2 which states:
6.3.2.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
1. The purpose of the Medium density residential zone is to provide for:-
a) medium density multiple dwellings; and
b) community uses, and small-scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to support
local residents.
2. The overall outcomes sought for the Medium density residential zone are as follows:-
a) Medium density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to permanent
residents. [MCU20/0119 will alter the neighbourhood to become a holiday zone]
b) The character of medium density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors
such as proximity to beaches, the Noosa River, recreation spaces, centres,
topography, availability of views, the established vegetated character, the presence
of visitor accommodation and the age of development. [Agreed]
c) Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential
neighbourhoods by maintaining a low scale character with well designed buildings
and landscaping that enhance the streetscape. [This is enhanced by permanent
residents who maintain their property, not short term renters].
d) New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding
uses. [Ongoing short-term accommodation is not compatible with medium density
residential]
e) The intrusion of incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately
accommodated in other zones is avoided to protect land for dual occupancies,
community residences, rooming accommodation, multiple dwellings, retirement
and relocatable home park facilities. [ie, not short term accommodation]
f) Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socio-
economic profile of the area, including one and two-person households, households
on low to moderate incomes and residents with reduced mobility. [Ongoing short
term rental is at odds with this purpose as it will turn residences into businesses]
g) Small dwellings and co-housing models are integrated within the medium density
residential built form to increase housing choice.
h) Short-term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well-
established resorts and holiday units. [Agreed, Medium density residential is not
required to be a source of short term accommodation, rather to provide rental and
property for purchase for people who move to Noosa as permanent residents and
home owners, typified by the current residents of Nannygai Street Noosaville and
surrounds]
i) Home-based businesses provide for domestic workplaces and home-hosted guest
accommodation of a scale and intensity compatible with attached and semi-
Page 5 of 16
Page 6
Notice of submission MCU20/0119
attached living and the residential character and amenity of the surrounding area
and locality. [Agreed, ongoing short term accommodation is at odds with this
purpose]
j) Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic,
noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific impacts. [Ongoing Short term
accommodation is at odds with this purpose]
k) Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that
creates walkable and legible residential neighbourhoods that integrate with active
transport networks and are well connected to activity centres, employment nodes,
open space and recreational areas, community facilities and educational
opportunities.
l) Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services and
does not adversely impact on the continued operation, viability and maintenance of
existing infrastructure or compromise future provision of planned infrastructure.
[Ongoing short-term accommodation potentially, threatens the capacity of local
infrastructure]
m) Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flood.
n) Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, vegetation and
bushland are retained and protected from the impacts of development. Any
unavoidable impacts are minimised through location, design, operation and
management requirements.
o) Native vegetation between buildings and in the public realm enhances the amenity
and supports local wildlife.
Conclusion:
The proposed short-term accommodation seeking approval from Application MCU20/0119, is likely
to bring unwanted disruption to the medium density residential areas of Nannygai Street and
surrounds, parking problems and personal safety issues. This submission and the following
Attachments are made to urge Noosa Council to fully consider the impact of short-term
accommodation on the amenity of Nannygai Street and surrounds. In particular:
a) the impact on current permanent residents.
b) the personal safety of residents, walkers, cyclists, mobility scooter users and other users of the
Nannygai Street;
c) the impact on local infrastructure and
d) the danger in approving MCU20/0119 leading to ongoing applications which also seek to turn
homes in medium density residential zones into businesses, not dwellings.
