2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 1 DRAFT 20191202-Noosa Plan Consultation Report

 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                              Planners’ Response                                                                                        Recommendation
             •   Owners should be not be disadvantaged by any retrospective restrictions on residential use.
             •   Owners appreciate being free to live in the unit a few months of the year and make it available for short-
                 stay tourist accommodation the rest of the year
             •   Rezoning it curtails our existing right to utilize the accommodation for permanent, semi-permanent or
                 short stay use.
             •   We need to be re-assured that our existing rights and those of others who have owned properties for
                 many years in the area are preserved.
             •   Want to be able to sell the unit to any class of persons without any residential conditions of usage, as we
                 have now.
             •   Would have no objection to the proposed zoning applying to new developments but feel it is unfair to
                 apply it retrospectively to existing buildings
             •   Change would damage the tone of the charming village-type atmosphere that Noosaville currently enjoys.
                 Much of this charm is exactly what draws the area's tourists in the first place.
             •   Those who own properties anywhere in the Noosa Shire Council should have the right to live in their
                 properties full time if they wish. I would ask that the council reconsider placing limitations on use of
                 dwellings.
