                    Assessment Type                Impact

               EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
               This report provides an assessment of an application for short term accommodation at 515 Cooroy
               Noosa Road. The applicant proposes to utilise the existing 5 bedroom dwelling to accommodate
               up to 8 persons on site at any one time. Parking is provided on site for 2 cars with sufficient space
               in the driveway to accommodate another 4 cars if required.
               The site is zoned Rural and has an area of 2.93ha, with the existing dwelling mostly screened by
               vegetation to neighbouring properties. The closest dwelling is located opposite the site in Cooroy
               Noosa Road, approximately 160 metres away, with the adjoining property to the east being a
               reserve with Council as trustee. The site was previously used as a restaurant.
               The Noosa Plan 2020 supports small scale visitor accommodation in the hinterland areas, subject
               to meeting a number of requirements. The application has demonstrated compliance with these
               requirements being small scale and compatible with the surrounding area, with no rural activities
               operating in the immediate area. The proposal is located within the site’s existing dwelling, is well
               separated from neighbouring properties and proposes to limit the maximum number of guests.
               Consequently, the proposal will not have any significant impacts on the area’s amenity, character
               or environmental values subject to a condition restricting the use of outdoor areas after 9pm.
               It is therefore recommended that the application be approved with conditions.
