4.4 High Density Residential Zone Code
Performance Outcome O6 describes specifically about Short Term Accommodation and is
reproduced below:

PO3
Land uses including short-term accommodation are limited to those which are compatible with high
density living in urban neighbourhoods and do not cause unreasonable loss of amenity, having
regard to:
   a) the privacy of residents on the subject property or adjoining properties;
   b) any likely increase in noise to adjoining properties;
   c) the scale of the use and its compatibility with the character and uses within the property or
       surrounding area;
   d) retention of the primary residential function of an area;
   e) the residential function and arrangement of common property;
   f) the impact on the safety and efficiency of the local road network;
   g) the impact of waste storage areas on the visual amenity of the area or sensitive land uses;
   h) the location of the waste storage in relation to sensitive land uses; and
   i) any impact on shared vehicular access or parking.

The site is surrounded by existing two and three storey units and dwelling houses of which many are
let for visitor accommodation. Sunshine Beach is well known holiday destination and has a general
mix of permanent and visitor accommodation given its ideal location near the beach, and its food
and retail offerings at the village centre. The proposed use adds to the character of the Sunshine
Beach village and is compatible and consistent with uses in the area.

The units are not proposed to be a party house and management will control the short-term use to
ensure the privacy of permanent residents in the surrounding area. The design ensures privacy
between neighbours as the main living and outdoor dining areas orientate to the east overlooking
the beach away from the immediately adjoining unit/s.

In terms of shared common areas, such as car parking and waste disposal area, specific
requirements will be built into the Community Management Statement and a ‘code of conduct’
provided to all users and occupants to regulate amenity, waste, vehicles, guests and pets.

The proposal complements and is consistent with the character of Sunshine beach. The use of the
premises will not impact on the function or amenity of any of the surrounding uses. In accordance
with recent approvals for Short Term Accommodation in the Sunshine Beach area the unit will ensure
a local contact person responds to complaints within an allotted timeframe. The property will also be
required to register for any Local Law for short stay letting (currently draft) the Council implements.

Parking is adequate as 2 car spaces is provided per dwelling and 2 visitor spaces of which fully
complies with Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways and parking code. There is no reason that any more
car spaces would be required because the premises is used for short term accommodation.
Importantly, there are not expected to be anymore guests for short term accommodation than there
would be for Multiple dwellings.
