 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                                Planners’ Response                                                                                       Recommendation
             •   Rezoning the proposed Tourist Accommodation areas to Medium Density Residential would be a better
                 and more appropriate approach to take.
 20848346    Long term owner and resident of a unit within “Bedarra” in Munna Crescent Noosaville opposes the Tourist
             Accommodation zone as it excludes the use of the property as an owner/occupied residence and
             fundamentally change the nature of the area away from the family/village atmosphere to one of high density,
             high traffic, high noise zone.
 20854156    Owners of units in “Bella Vista” 18 Munna Cres, object to the proposed inclusion of the complex of 6 units in
             the Tourist Accommodation zone as:
 20854915
             •  since construction in the 1980’s the units are variously used for long and short-term rental purposes and
 20855559       for intermittent and permanent residential purposes.
 20866756    • this change completely disregards the area's existing high level of residential amenity
 20867455    • it will reduce use rights on the site, even though the existing use rights are interchangeable and are
                protected
 20865942
             • the neighbourhood cannot cope with the additional height and density.
             • parking is already at saturation point.
             • there is already too much pressure on the small park and beach near Bella Vista.
             • the existing sense of community will be lost if the proportion of short stay guests increases.
             • as the area is already well settled and existing dwellings will enjoy existing use rights that permit them to
                be used for residential (permanent or semi-permanent) or short/long term accommodation purposes; and
                the area is not one that is ripe for development or redevelopment such that a new zone could be
                expected to find expression any time soon through any new development responding to the new Noosa
                Plan it is an exercise in futility
             Suggests Medium Density Residential a more appropriate alternative.
 20866838    Owner of unit at 106 Noosa Pde, submitter objects to rezoning of property and to the entire New Noosa Plan,
             On the basis of retaining the ability to live in it, rent it permanently or Short-term, this is legally an owners
             right, not the councils right to dictate based on the location of a property.
             •   The property was originally built and approved as a residential dwelling and has a mixture of residents,
                 tenants and tourists in the area, it should not be zoned as one or the other.
             •   The council has been unable to answer simple questions relating to the consequences of the re-zoning,
                 therefore an informed decision cannot be made at this stage, as we are unaware of the repercussions of
                 such a decision.
             •   Looking at the definitions of zones it suggests we will not be able to reside as permanent residents. This
                 is unacceptable.
 20825905    Owners of both dwellings at 134 Noosa Parade Noosaville rent both properties to local residents on long term        Submissions are noted, however given the weight of submissions detailed above and for reasons            Council at its Special Meeting of 12 September 2019 resolved that the Noosaville
             leases, with the intention to continue this into the future. However support the proposed zoning change to          previously outlined about the existing built form and density of the neighbourhood it has been           zoning map ZM-12 within Schedule 2.3 of the planning scheme be amended to
             Tourist Accommodation because they understood it allows more flexibility into the future while existing use         recommended that this portion of Noosaville be changed to medium density residential which is            include properties to the north of Noosa Parade, east of Munna Crescent and
             rights are protected.                                                                                               more in keeping with the historical zoning of the neighbourhood.                                         including Woorookool Place and Barbados Crescent in the Medium Density
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Residential Zone
 20847608    No major objections to the Tourist Accommodation zoning (at Woorookool Place) as it’s acceptable use for            The properties will continue to have existing use rights for either permanent or visitor occupation.
             permanent or holiday letting however would not like tourist levies or changes for unwarranted extra rubbish                                                                                                                  This formed part of a package of significant changes to the draft scheme re-
             removal.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     advertised from 13 September.
 20863974    Operators of Riviera at Noosa 144 Noosa Parade, Noosaville support the proposed rezoning to Tourist                                                                                                                          During the subsequent consultation period several submissions were received
             Accommodation Zone to signify preferred tourist locations in the Shire.                                                                                                                                                      requesting the zone be returned to Tourist Accommodation. Refer to Table 17.2
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          No further changes are recommended.
 20867396    Owner of 9 Cloudsley Street requests the site be zoned Medium Density Residential (rather than Low Density          In preparing the new scheme Council was conscious of the existence of older duplexes and units           That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             Residential) as it is well-located to support in-fill development and provide housing choice, within walking        within Detached Housing areas of Noosaville however the extent of flood hazard in this area is
             distance to public transport and existing services and facilities. This in turn would help achieve infill           significant and in general it is not sound planning to increase the number of people living in an area
             development targets in accordance with the Regional Plan ShapingSEQ.                                                affected by flood hazard. For this reason up zoning of flood hazard areas has been avoided.
 20839456    Owner of 32 Creek Rd suggests the site of 658.41m2 is suitable for a development of 4 dwellings with                In preparation of the scheme Council did carefully consider lifting the zoning of this area from the     That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             underground parking because it is in close proximity to many different community and medical facilities and         Detached Housing to Medium Density Zoning. The greatest concern however was the extent of
             service centres and infrastructure is already in place. As the site is proposed to be included in the Low           flood hazard in the neighbourhood. Even though this site itself may not be inundated the
             Density Residential Zone this would necessitate a higher density zone.                                              neighbourhood is likely to become isolated in a flood event and in general it is not sound planning to
                                                                                                                                 increase the number of people living in an area affected by flood hazard.
 20869327    Owner of 30 Lake Weyba Drive considers that given the location of the site close to a Local Centre and other        In preparation of the scheme Council did carefully consider lifting the zoning of this area from the     That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             unit and duplex development in the locality the subject site should be rezoned to allow for a duplex or multiple    Detached Housing to Medium Density Zoning. The greatest concern however was the extent of
             dwelling development.                                                                                               flood hazard in the neighbourhood. The flood hazard overlay does for example extend over the
