EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Noosa Council has recognised the Shire as being gripped by a housing crisis, which is having a
significant social and economic impact on the community. In December 2021, Noosa Council
endorsed a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA), a comprehensive technical report on the context of
housing and households in Noosa Shire. That HNA, as well as other Council strategies and plans,
has informed the drafting of a Housing Strategy for the Shire of Noosa, now presented to Council for
endorsement for the purpose of community consultation.
The Housing Strategy seeks to set a clear plan for housing in Noosa Shire through to 2041 and
provides for regular monitoring and review to ensure our actions and interventions advance us
towards meeting the objectives therein, to enable housing choice, diversity and affordability to meet
the current and future needs of the community.
Underpinning the success of the strategy will be the need for strong partnerships with the State
Government, with Community Housing providers, private housing developers and with the Noosa
Community.
In essence, the Strategy seeks to ensure there is the right amount of housing, of the right type and
size, in the right place and with the right tenure, for our community.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Principal Strategic Planner to the Special Meeting dated 23 June
2022 and
A. Approve the Noosa Shire Draft Housing Strategy provided at Attachment 1 for the purpose of
community engagement in accordance with the Consultation and Communications Plan
provided at Attachment 2;
B. Seek Noosa Shire community feedback on the draft Housing Strategy for a period of 3 weeks;
C. Authorise the CEO to establish a Housing Refence Group to work with Council on the
implementation of the Housing Strategy and a range of housing issues; and
D. Appoint Cr Stewart – Mayor and Councillor Cr < > as the elected representatives to be on the
Housing Reference Group.

SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
REPORT
1. Context
In 2015 the newly released Noosa Social Strategy highlighted that median household incomes in
Noosa were well below the Queensland average, and that median home purchase and rental prices
were well above State averages. It showed that many residents were struggling to meet increases
in costs of living, and shortages in affordable housing and limited housing diversity were contributing
to homelessness and incidents of residents “sleeping rough”.
Several years later, the situation is arguably far worse, and the housing crisis is having a very real
social and economic impact on the Shire. Despite Council seeking to encourage greater housing
diversity there has not been any significant improvement in affordability, and increased demand
especially since the outbreak of COVID19, has seen housing become even less affordable for a
greater cross-section of the community. Additionally, businesses and essential government services
are unable to attract and retain staff when local housing is unavailable for workers.
2. Purpose of Housing Strategy
This report brings forward for Council endorsement the first specific Housing Strategy for Noosa
Shire. The Strategy sets a clear vision and establishes key outcomes and an action plan for Noosa
Shire Council, about accommodating residents now and into the future.
The strategy will guide Council decision making, inform planning policy and Council actions and
investment about planning for and achieving the necessary housing in Noosa, to ensure we cater for
all housing needs and particularly those of the most vulnerable in our community.
The vision is to create an inclusive Noosa community where everybody has access to safe, secure
housing.
3. Commitment to action
Given everyone has a role to play in ensuring that Noosa Shire continues to prosper and thrive as
an inclusive community, there could be difficult decisions to make. Council should seek the ongoing
support of the community in reaching its stated objectives. This will require conscientious
engagement and strong leadership.
4. Outcomes and Actions
The Strategy outlines several key outcomes with actions against each. In each action Council takes
on a differing role depending on the level of influence it can have and the level of investment and
resourcing it wishes to make. For example, sometimes Council’s role is to advocate to other levels
of government while in other areas Council can partner with private developers or community
housing providers and even help deliver housing on Council owned land.
The outcomes addressed in the Strategy are as follows:
a) Noosa Community benefits from industry expertise, local knowledge and world’s best practice
in the housing sector.
b) Sufficient housing is provided to accommodate the planned population of the Shire.
c) New housing is located in areas that are accessible and well-connected to services,
employment, and infrastructure.
d) Development and redevelopment for housing is diverse, meeting varied and changing needs
of people across their life
e) Housing is available for all members of the Noosa Shire community, including individuals and
households on low to moderate incomes.
f) Housing is well designed and adds to the safety, security and wellbeing of residents.
g) Housing is enduring and resilient to natural processes and changes, without putting people or
property at risk of hazards.
h) Sustainable tourism accommodation is facilitated where it is complementary to and compatible
with other land uses, including housing, and maintains a community’s sense of place.

SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
5. Planning scheme amendments
While every effort was made in the drafting of the Noosa Plan 2020 to facilitate a greater range of
housing outcomes, we have seen some increase in diversity however there needs to be more in
terms of housing choice. Consequentially various planning scheme amendments are recommended
to incentivise and/or regulate the delivery of different housing products.
The Noosa Plan has strong statements about housing, affordability and the need for greater choice
and diversity in the Strategic Statements, it is now proposed that these statements be supported by
strengthening and improving provisions throughout the scheme to enable these outcomes to be
achieved through the development assessment process and in working in partnership.
Officers have been working with the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local
Government and Planning to progress ‘Inclusionary zoning’ in the Noosa Plan. Inclusionary zoning
is a mechanism where governments use land use planning to either mandate or incentivise
development to deliver a proportion of residential development to be affordable housing (social
housing).
Specifically, these proposed amendments to the Planning Scheme will be reported to Council
separately, however in broad terms include:
clarification of different forms of housing, specifying clear definitions;
selected zone changes to facilitate different forms of housing;
Specific changes to require social housing outcomes on large sites in medium - high density
residential areas and centres zones;
Incentives / bonus provisions such as additional floor where larger proportion of developments
in major centres deliver social housing;
changes to the tables of assessment to allow for community or special needs housing in more
areas;
changes to the development codes to remove some requirements which are focussed on
internal amenity and aesthetic outcomes and addition of some that are focussed on
affordability and accessibility.
6. Housing Stakeholder Reference Group
One of the key actions of the Strategy is to establish a local Housing Stakeholder Reference Group
with representation from all the following sectors:
State member/s;
Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy;
QShelter;
Registered Community Housing Providers;
NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation providers;
Residential Care providers;
Homelessness support services;
Business and Tourism sector;
Permanent Rental Property Managers;
Local private housing developers.
This reference group will assist Council with implementation of the Housing Strategy. Officers from
Strategic Planning, Community Development and Property Unit should represent cross-
departmental involvement in the group. It is also recommended Council nominate the Mayor and
one elected representative to be part of the group.
A Charter for this reference group has been drafted and is provided at Attachment 3.

Section 6
SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
Community Engagement and Consultation
Given the significance of the housing issue for our community, it is proposed that the Draft Housing
Strategy go out for community consultation. This process will give our broader community an
opportunity to comment and provide views on the strategy and specifically targeted consultation with
key stakeholders involved in the delivery of affordable housing and in addressing the challenges of
housing for our community.
The Community consultation will include the following:
Draft Housing Strategy Published on “Your Say” Noosa for a period of 3 weeks.
Targeted consultation with key stakeholders, focus groups and the proposed Housing
Reference Group.
Media statements and social media articles on key issues and the associated actions in the
Housing Strategy.
Officers available to discuss/ respond to Community enquiries and views on the Draft Housing
Strategy.
Letters will be sent to landowners of and adjacent to any properties proposed to be rezoned to
enable housing outcomes.
Specific engagement with relevant State Government agencies
Once the community consultation period is complete, officers will review all inputs and submissions
and make appropriate changes to the Housing Strategy prior to reporting the outcomes of the
consultation and proposed final Housing Strategy back to Council.
A Consultation & Communication Plan is provided at Attachment 2.

Finance
Currently the preparation of the Housing Needs Analysis and Draft Housing Strategy have been
prepared internally, $50,000 has been allocated in the current budget to advance investigations and
feasibility for potential housing (social and affordable housing) outcomes on Council owned property
at Lake McDonald Drive, Cooroy. Further funding has been proposed as part of 22/23 budget to
advance these investigations.
Council will need to consider the ongoing investment in implementing the proposed Housing Strategy
in future budgets.
While the Housing Strategy requires upfront commitments of staff time, investigation funds and
potentially land assets, over time some returns (or cost neutrality) may be able to be achieved where
there may be the potential to recoup rental income on housing, particularly if State grant funding can
be leveraged.

Section 9
SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
Risks & Opportunities
Social housing is not specifically the responsibility of local government and Council will not be able
to provide housing for everybody seeking housing in Noosa Shire. However, Council does have
specific roles to plan for appropriate housing for its community, to regulate appropriate development
outcomes and to advocate to other levels of government for the needs of its community.
This Housing Strategy considers the range of opportunities and roles Council does have and it is
clear that to do nothing is likely to perpetuate the social and economic impacts the housing crisis is
already having. More local families will be forced to leave the area, more businesses will close down
and the quality of life for the community will suffer.
Council has already indicated a desire to be part of the solution and do what it can to make Noosa
a more inclusive community where residents have access to safe and secure housing that suits their
needs. Endorsing this strategy makes a clear statement to the community, to the housing sector and
to other levels of government that housing is a priority for this Council.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
A draft version of the Housing Strategy has been shared with a small group of stakeholders including
representatives of the Housing Action Group established by the State Member for Noosa. The
strategy has also been peer reviewed by independent expert consultants in Affordable Housing.
Review has also been undertaken by the past Executive Officer of National Shelter Inc. who has 40
years' experience in the community sector including roles with housing, homelessness, welfare and
youth peak bodies in Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, Queensland and nationally.
Internal Consultation
The Housing Strategy has been prepared by Strategic Planning in consultation with the Development
Assessment, Community Development and Property Sections.

5.2 Clarifying housing terminology
It is important to be clear about terminology and what is meant by each type of housing, there is often confusion or misunderstanding of these terms.
Some are defined through State legislation and for clarity, throughout this document have the meaning outlined below.
Affordable Housing: Housing that is appropriate to the needs of households with low to moderate incomes, if the members of the
households will spend no more than 30% of gross income on housing costs.
(Defined in the Planning Regulation 2017)
As an example, housing subsidised through the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS)
Households spending greater than 30% of gross income on housing costs are considered to be living in housing stress.
Affordable Living Affordable living means the total cost of living, including the dwelling cost or cost of renting a dwelling in addition to, the
costs of living, including accessing employment, services, open space, family and friends.
(Defined in the Qld State Planning Policy 2017)
Page 18 of 46Section 19
SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
Page 19 of 46
SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA 23 JUNE 2022
Po Transport costs are a significant component of living costs, especially for residents further from established centres.
Social Housing: Housing for a residential use, other than crisis accommodation, that is either provided by:
e the state as public housing, as defined in the Planning Regulation 2017; or
e an entity other than the state (e.g. a not-for-profit organisation or local government) as community housing.
(Defined in the Qld State Planning Policy 2017)
Public Housing Housing provided by, or for, the State or a statutory body representing the State;
¢ for short or long term residential use; and
¢ totally or partly subsidised by the State or a statutory body representing the State.
It includes services provided mainly for residents of the housing
(Defined in the Planning Regulation 2017)
Accessible housing Dwelling/s designed to Liveable Housing Australia - Liveable Housing Design Guidelines Platinum level or National
Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Specialist Disability Accommodation Design Standard of fully accessible or high
physical support.
Crisis accommodation Provision of short-term accommodation to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, individuals or families
escaping domestic violence or in crisis, to assist them to move towards independent living. It is not a replacement or
duplication of other forms of social housing.
Build-to-rent Residential developments focussed on providing secure, long-term rental tenancies rather than upfront sales. Build-to-
rent provides an opportunity for discounted rental housing this can be achieved by the private sector or through
partnering with government.
Key Worker Any employees in services that are essential to the functioning of Noosa Shire but who earn low to moderate incomes,
and whose work role require them being physically present at a place of work rather than being able to work from
home.
This includes health workers, teachers, emergency services, personal support workers, transport workers, hospitality
and accommodation workers, retail workers, tradespeople, and many others.

5.3 Council's role
The housing crisis is seen by the current Noosa Council as one of the most significant challenges it is likely to face. Accordingly, like many other local
governments, it is looking for ways to be part of the solution so that Noosa Shire may remain a safe, inclusive community into the future. The 2021-
2030 Economic Development Strategy has acknowledged the need to collaborate on initiatives that improve accommodation options for workers, as
without workers businesses struggle and essential services are depleted.
The level of involvement, or role Council plays will have a direct correlation to the quantum of resources Council invests in this challenge. The following
figure outlines the roles Council can have and the equivalent level of resources.

9. Monitoring
Noosa Council is committed to continually monitor the housing needs of
our community. As well as regularly seeking input through the local
housing stakeholder reference group, relying on their ’on the ground’
experiences, Council will undertake a review of this strategy in 2025.
The implementation and action plan will be reviewed on an annual basis
and a Housing Monitoring program will be established and reported on
every two years.
Council will continue to monitor the impact of short-term accommodation
on the availability of permanent residential dwellings.
Ensure the Planning Scheme provisions enable the needed housing
types to be delivered efficiently, and advocate to the State Government
regarding policies and funding to ensure every advantage is taken to
pursue and support the community housing needs.
Regular monitoring of the strategy and associated action plan will occur
to ensure this strategy’s actions are pursued and the strategy remains
current utilising new and updated data and changing community needs.
Regular monitoring will also review any changes made to the Noosa
Planning Scheme, to monitor effectiveness and inform further changes
or amendments if required.

Consultation & Communication Plan — Housing Strategy
Strategic Approach
Noosa Council considers suitable Housing for its community is one of the greatest
challenges facing our community. Council is seeking to address this challenge,
preparing a Draft Housing Strategy, which outlines key issues and a range of actions
to address these issues.
The Noosa Council Social Justice Charter (2018) states that Council is committed to
implementing policies and providing services that decrease inequity and promote
inclusiveness. Part of this is seeking an accessible, diverse community where there are
affordable and available places for people to live.
Affordable Housing remains a key State Government responsibility, but Council and the
community can determine its own destiny. To ensure Noosa Shire continues to prosper and
thrive as an inclusive community, Council is seeking to work with all sectors of the community
to help tackle the housing crisis within the shire.
Objectives
- To explain the extent and risks of the housing crisis in our community and some of the
(local) contributing factors
- To heighten awareness of the connection between unmet housing need and—
© social sustainability;
© economic sustainability; and
o local quality of life
- To “demystify” and quell the stigma attached to social housing and affordable housing by
personalising it through real life scenarios and messaging from prominent community
members
- Increase awareness of the work of Community Housing Providers
- Encourage residents to consider how they could contribute to the solutions (such as
renting out spare rooms or the downstairs flat)
- To obtain targeted feedback from those directly involved in delivering housing outcomes
and use their support in communication
- Gather ideas from the community about where and how housing choice can be delivered.
Barriers & Opportunities
There are often fears from residents and local businesses/organisations about what changes
social and affordable housing might mean for their neighbourhood. These fears are often
based on misguided information regarding a project’s impact. Our communications should
seek to address some of these misconceptions.
“Social housing introduces the “Couldn't it go in Nambour,
wrong element” Yandina, Gympie?”
“This is the State’s Responsibility — “lf my neighbourhood includes
swim in your own lane!” ‘affordable housing’ then my
property value must drop”

A clear, fact-based public information campaign is needed to better educate the community
and help maintain clear, accurate messaging about the issue.

Key messages
- Help us identify the type of housing suitable for Noosa and be part of the solution.
- Those reliant on affordable housing are great local people “just like you and me”
- Housing key retail and hospitality workers helps ensure good service levels and available
staff for businesses.
- Housing (shelter) is a fundamental human need and should be prioritised over elements
like car parking
- We need to make the best use of what little remaining urban land we have — this means
there will need to be an “infill” component.
- Social and Affordable housing projects can be attractive, quality developments
- Community Housing Providers are professional and sensitive operators who have already
changed the lives for many clients
- What can we do as a community to be more welcoming and inclusive?
Partners / Champions

- Recognisable and respected community members
- Community Housing Providers (Coast2Bay, YouTurn)
- Specialist Disability Accommodation providers (YoungCare, Endevour)
- Support Services (Vinnies, Lifeline, Salvation Army, Sunny Streets, Orange Sky Laundry
etc)
- State agencies many have useful resources for community engagement
- Recruit others who have either publicly supported social and affordable housing or who
have put concepts forward in the past
Target audience
The key audience(s) will include:
- Land owners
- Renters
- Real estate / property managers

a Draft Reference Group Charter
COUNCIL
HOUSING STAKEHOLDER REFERENCE GROUP (HSRG)
Name Housing Stakeholder Reference Group
Goals To provide advice to Noosa Council and State Goverment
representatives on the implementation of a Housing Strategy and
associated actions.
Roles & The HSRG will provide an important forum for ideas and discussion
Responsibilities based on experience. Recommendations will be reported to Council and
relayed to other levels of Government for consideration as relevant or
required.
Specific responsibilities of the group include:
« to assist in implementation of the Housing Strategy and associated
actions
e to ensure the community, housing industry and not-for-profit sector
are represented within local housing policy
«* to share information and learnings from “on the ground” expenence
and best practice
« to ensure decision makers are informed about the housing situation
and know what initiatives are underway
* to raise community awareness about the need for social and
community housing to meet the needs of our community
e to assist in prioritising actions which offer the most efficient and
effective solutions for the community, and which represent best use
of public resources
The Housing Stakeholder Reference Group is not a decision-making
body.
Council's Noosa Council is committed to working towards an inclusive Noosa
commitment to the community where everybody has access to safe, secure housing they
group can afford. In endorsing a draft Housing Strategy Noosa Council is
committed to forming a Housing Stakeholder Reference Group and
respectfully considering the views and recommendations of that group in
making decisions that affect the regulation or delivery of improved
housing choice within the Shire.
Timeframes The first meeting of the HSRG would occur before the end of the 21/22
financial year.
Reporting to Council The Housing Strategy will be subject to formal monitoring every two
years. However in between, reports are likely to be presented on an as-
needed basis when Council decision making is required (for example on
planning scheme amendments, the commitment of resources or other
major initiatives).
