PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                 11 OCTOBER 2022


As a result of Council’s decision to refuse the application, the applicant has now lodged an appeal
to the Planning & Environment Court maintaining that the use of the premises for either long-term
or short-term accommodation is lawful as:
•   the premises has been used for a detached house under the superseded planning; and
•   has continued to be used for that purpose since the commencement of the Noosa Plan 2020.
It is in order for Council to defend the appeal and the recommendation is worded accordingly.
Previous Council Consideration

Finance & Risk
It is premature at this stage to provide advice on the likely prospects of the appeal. There will be
