     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
     dated 17 January 2022 regarding Application No. MCU20/0143.01 & OPW20/0230.01 for an
     Other Change to a Development Permit for Dual Occupancy and Associated Operational
     Works to include Short-Term Accommodation, situated at 6 Angler St Noosa Heads 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 dwelling units available for permanent housing in the area,
                 impacting permanent resident amenity.
          2.     The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(o),
                 (p) and (u) and Performance Outcome PO2 of the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code
                 as:
                 a)    The proposal will contribute to the erosion of diversity in housing types in
                       the area.
                 b)    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                       impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent
                       residents.
          3.     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 medium density residential neighbourhood that
                       is predominantly 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
                       facility within a recently approved dual occupancy and is not located within
                       a well-established resort or holiday units.
          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

                                                                                         Page 4 of 7
