                                             Sunshine Beach.

The applicant proposes to provide enough beds to accommodate 16 people on the site (8 people
per dwelling). Each of the dwelling units have 2 bedrooms and each has a study/sitting area on the
same floor as the 2 bedrooms. It is not known how many people the applicant proposes for each
room, but it is noted that the study/sitting area is larger than the bedrooms, meaning more people
are expected to be accommodated within the study/sitting area.
The Acceptable outcomes of the Noosa Plan 2020 require 5 car spaces for the Short term
accommodation use. The site currently provides 4 covered car spaces on a site which was designed
and approved as a duplex comprising 2 x two bedroom dwelling units. The applicant maintains that
space is available on site to allow tandem parking for additional vehicles. Vehicles in tandem do not
comply with Acceptable Outcome A012.1 of the Visitor Accommodation Code or corresponding
Performance Outcome PO12. Further, reliance on tandem parking will restrict the ability to exit the
site in a forward gear and vehicles will have to reverse onto Hill Street, which is a busy road. Sixteen
beds available for the short term accommodation use places significant pressure on parking and the
Short term accommodation use also may result in a reliance of cars being parked on the street.
