MCU200119 Notice of Submission

                                    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-
