GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                                     13 DECEMBER 2021


    Committee Resolution
    Moved:            Cr Jurisevic
    Seconded:         Cr Stewart
    That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine that it is in the public
    interest that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that Cr
    Stockwell does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this matter and therefore a
    reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
                                                                                       Carried unanimously.
    Cr Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.
    Committee Recommendation
    Moved:              Cr Jurisevic
    Seconded:           Cr Lorentson
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
    Committee Meeting dated 7 December 2021 regarding Application No. MCU16/0138.03 and
    OPW16/0257.03 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for a Material Change of
    Use for 2 x Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex and Operational Works (Access, Stormwater,
    and landscaping) to include Short-term accommodation for Lot 1 on SP 308427, situated at
    1/113 Gympie Tce Noosaville and:
    A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
          1.   The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
               community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will
               further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident
               amenity.
          2.   The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a)
               and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
               a.     The proposal is located in a medium density residential neighbourhood that
                      is predominately used for short term accommodation. The introduction of
                      additional short term accommodation within a duplex unit is not consistent
                      with the zone’s outcome to maintain the area as predominantly home to
                      permanent residents.
               b.     The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation
                      dwelling within a duplex and is not located within a well-established resort or
                      holiday units.
          3.   The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t)
               and Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:
               a.     Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                      impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
               b.     While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it does
                      not seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to
                      the detriment of permanent residents.
          4.   The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
               (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
               a.     The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and
                      integrated with permanent residents in the area given the number and
                      density of properties currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or
                      permitted for use as visitor accommodation.
               b.     The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity
                      enjoyed by residents nearby and in the surrounding area.
