      a.    It does not protect the rural neighbourhood from short term visitor accommodation that
            would impact on the amenity enjoyed by residents.
4.    The proposal does not comply with the Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(i) of the Rural Zone
      Code as
      a.    it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and activities that are
            compatible with existing and future rural uses and activities.
      b.    it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and activities that are
            compatible with the character and environmental features of the zone.
      c.    the visitor accommodation in its proposed form does not complement rural uses or
            promote the sustainable use of rural land.
5.    The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Overall
      Outcome (2)(j) and Performance Outcome PO4 of the Rural Zone Code as it not compatible
      with rural activities and will detract from the rural amenity of adjoining properties.
6.    The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Performance
      Outcome PO8 of the Rural Zone Code as the proposed location of the dwelling within 200m
      of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area, is not sufficiently setback to mitigate risks
      associated with the use of chemicals or air pollutants and/or avoid conflict with current or future
      rural uses and activities on adjoining properties.
7.    The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Overall
      Outcome (2)(g) and Performance Outcome PO1 and PO2 of the Visitor Accommodation
      Code as:
      a.    The site is within 250 metres of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area which is
            intended for intensive animal industry, intensive horticulture or rural industry uses.
      b.    The site is within 100 metres of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area which is
            intended for agricultural operations.
      c.    It will impact on the ability of rural landowners to carry out agricultural pursuits
      d.    It will result in conflicts with nearby land uses.
      e.    It will detract from the character and amenity of the local area.
8.    The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Performance
      Outcome PO25 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as it will result in an unreasonable loss
      of residential amenity because of a likely increase in noise to adjoining properties.
9.    The use is inconsistent with the Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 - Keep Noosa Home item 7.7:
      Ensure that short-term accommodation in the hinterland is complementary to housing on site
      and not at the expense of housing. Whole-house short term rentals should be limited to
      infrequent letting of the owner’s principal-place of residence.
10.   The use is inconsistent with the Noosa Council Short Term Accommodation Monitoring
      Report November 2022 as:
      a.    Short-term accommodation, without a permanent resident remaining on site,
            compromises future housing supply for permanent residents.
      b.    Short-term accommodation of an entire dwelling house compromises adequate long
            term housing stock being available to meet the diverse needs of Noosa Shire’s current
            and future residents, consistent with Noosa Council’s adopted Housing Strategy 2022.
      c.    Short-term accommodation does not reinforce the purpose and outcomes to be
            achieved by development within the Rural zone for rural pursuits, particularly
            agricultural uses and complementary value-added uses and housing for permanent
            residents.
