PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                      12 OCTOBER 2021

    site visit required, consideration will be given to whether the contact person acted in
   accordance with the local law in responding to a complaint and whether extreme
    circumstances prevented attendance at the property — such as the ferry had ceased operating
   or tide was high.
    A change to the local law is considered reasonable to alter the 20 minute travel time for the
   contact person. A 20 km radius for the contact person is more measurable and takes in the
    greater urban and hinterland areas of Noosa providing greater locational flexibility for
    properties in more remote locations such as Teewah.
    For clarification, where no kerb side waste service is provided, a provision that waste must
   be removed from the property and disposed of at a general waste facility will be included
    in the local law.

    5      Point
   The majority of submissions for Boreen Point were from residents supporting the local law or
   wanting a high level of control to deal with issues they were experiencing. Two submissions
   however, one from the community association and the other from a short stay let property
   manager were calling for Boreen Point to be exempt from the local law citing it being a holiday
   area; there was no evidence of complaints; and requirements for 24/7 availability, 20 minute
   location and code of conduct were unreasonable.
    Response
   Despite Boreen Point having short stay let properties, it is also a permanent residential
   community and residents should be afforded the same provisions under the local law as other
    residential neighbourhoods, and therefore remain under the local law.

    Parkrid
    A number of submissions from residents, the body corporate and developer at Parkridge
   requested removal of its exemption and to be included under the local law. One short stay let
   operator requested the exemption remain.
    Response
   The planning intent for Parkridge was for a resort / visitor accommodation only, however the
   onginal approval did not exclude permanent residency. Subsequent approvals and a
   marketing strategy focussed on permanent living has further eroded the original visitor only
   intent for the site. As a result, whilst there is some short stay letting occurring, there is primarily
   permanent residents at Parkridge. Therefore, the local law should apply to existing and future
    short stay let or home hosted accommodation properties and the exemption be removed.
