 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ Response                                                                                        Recommendation
 20833647    building was constructed for Short-term holiday accommodation and has little storage in the kitchen,               Accommodation Zone. Given the location of this particular site on Noosa Parade its inclusion in the
             bathrooms and carports. The Committee of Metzo Resort acts on matters on the assumption that the units             Tourist Accommodation Zone could have merit however would need to be notified to all individual
             are owned and operated as holiday accommodation. By zoning Metzo Resort as residential it will have an             unit owners.
             impact on the availability of high quality holiday accommodation in the Noosa area.
                                                                                                                                Existing use rights are in place for this site and it is not at the current time zoned specifically for
                                                                                                                                visitor accommodation it is suggested no further change be proposed at this stage.

             Terrace through to Janet Street very disappointed it is not marked for Tourist Accommodation in the new            Attached Housing Zone in the current 2006 scheme.
             Noosa Plan despite being one of the oldest providers of tourist accommodation in Noosa. Resort has a total
             of 27 lots with the majority of these lots in the rental pool providing “Tourist Accommodation”.                   Like many well established complexes that were built specifically as visitor accommodation they
                                                                                                                                have interchangeable existing use rights to be occupied permanently or short-term.
             No justification why the Eastern end of Gympie Terrace is zoned “Tourist Accommodation” and we are not.
             We provide more rooms for tourists than many of those on the Eastern end of Gympie Terrace and find it             As the draft scheme is not removing any existing use rights the property or unit owners enjoy, no
             hard to understand why we have been cut out. It is highly unfair.                                                  change is recommended.

             The entire "Gympie Terrace" stretch should be zoned for Tourist accommodation or at the very least this            Submitters made a further submission in the second consultation round as detailed in table
             resort should not be discriminated against by its exclusion.                                                       17.2 below

             Gympie Terrace is the Hastings Street of Noosaville and should enjoy the same protection and Zoning.

The Noosa Plan encourages small            That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission

             used for permanent accommodation which erodes visitor accommodation as well as property management
             rights.
             New rezoning to Tourist Accommodation does not benefit them by retaining visitor accommodation on the
             site and in Noosaville overall.

All submission were reviewed and it was determined that as these site was not               That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             Accommodation Zone in the New Noosa plan. The properties are located between Weyba Rd, Gympie Tce                  contiguous to a Tourist Accommodation Zone it should remain in a residential zone.
             and Gibson Rd and are well located to services and attractions for visitors and is regarded as a premium
             tourist area of Noosa.                                                                                             Existing use rights will remain regardless of the zone change which allow for both permanent and
                                                                                                                                short-term accommodation for units developed prior to 2006.
             •   Generally in support of the changes in the New Noosa plan as they relate to Short-term accommodation
                 areas and tourist accommodation zones.
             •   The proposed Tourist Accommodation zones in the new Noosa Plan are already developed and it is not
                 likely that these sites will be redeveloped in the near future to provide for the increased demand as many
                 of these sites are high end permanent residential homes and units, particularly west of Thomas Street.
             •   All tourist development will need to be protected in the future and new tourist development is to be
                 encouraged to cater for the planned tourist growth to the region. The plan does not support this growth.
             •   New zoning doesn’t add any additional areas to Noosaville and does not reflect the current footprint of
                 visitor accommodation in the locality. The resorts that have been retained as high density residential will
                 overtime be redeveloped for permanent residential rather than tourist accommodation.
             •   The discrepancy in zoning will allow real-estate agents to promote permanent residents in these resorts
                 rather than those in the Tourist Accommodation zone. This will erode visitor accommodation availability in
                 resorts in the future.
             •   Loss of tourists to the locality will have negative impacts on local businesses that rely on tourists rather
                 than permanent residents. Empty shops and restaurants reduce the overall amenity of the area.
             •   Request the Tourist Accommodation Zone be extended west of Thomas Street along Gympie Tce
                 encompassing all the existing holiday resorts located in the Weyba Rd, Gympie Tce and Gibson Rd
                 locality.
             •   All resorts that are covered by the accommodation regulation module and have an on-site manager are
                 predominately used for Tourist accommodation and should be zoned Tourist Accommodation.
