 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ Response                                                                                        Recommendation
 20867155    The complex of 13 apartments at Picture Point Terraces 47 Picture Point Cres, Noosa Heads has operated             Site is proposed to be included in the High Density Residential Zone, not the Tourist Accommodation       That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             as visitor accommodation under management agreement since the late 80's. Some owners use their                     Zone. It was however within the mapped Short Stay Area which has been removed. The property
             apartments between lets and others reserve their apartments for their own use and are not in the letting pool.     would enjoy existing use rights for either permanent occupation of visitor accommodation.
             Onsite management occupies their own apartment. Noting the site is proposed to be included in the Tourist
             Accommodation zone, I submit that the current use has been well established and request that the use not be
             impacted on by any proposed plan change.

 20822101    Operators of Noosa Quays resort at 4 Quamby Place supports proposed zoning of Quamby Place as                      Support is noted                                                                                          That no change to the New Noosa Plan be made as a result of these submissions.
             Tourism Accommodation rather than the current Attached Housing. Believes it would only be beneficial to
             have separate community living options for permanents and holiday makers and therefore support the Draft
             Plan.

             Accommodation rather than the current Attached Housing. Laments it does not override existing use rights
             for permanent residents and concerned there is no control over the unpoliced, unlicensed tourist operators
             affecting the reputation of the destination.
 20867344    Quamby Place currently contains established unit developments which are used for both permanent and                Well established complexes of units typically have existing use rights to be used for either visitor      That no change to the New Noosa Plan be made as a result of these submissions.

                                                                                                                                permanent occupation is not prevented, the area is likely to be dominated by visitors and that visitors

             accommodation and seek assurance that the New Plan will not alter their existing use rights to utilize their
             units for wither permanent or visitor accommodation without the need for planning approvals.
             PO19 of the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code refers to only visitor accommodation which is contradictory
             to the current approvals in Quamby place. It is requested that this is amended to include permanent
             accommodation except in designated resort complexes.
             Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways and Car parking Code introduces new car parking rates for Short-term
             accommodation being 2 spaces plus 1 space per 4 dwellings. This requirement effectively means that
             existing multiple dwellings will not be able to be used for visitor accommodation which is contrary to the
             intended use of the area. It is recommended that this rate be reduced for existing developments.

 20827956    Operators of Noosa Crest at 2 Noosa Drive support proposed inclusion in the Tourist Accommodation Zone             Submission is noted                                                                                       That no change to the New Noosa Plan be made as a result of these submissions.

             excellent examples in Melbourne of active streets redeveloped to 4 storeys based around transit. This is
             readily transferable to Noosa Junction. Three storeys is unlikely to create the redevelopment necessary to do
             this, and also to incorporate the accommodation needs of the Global Village English language school, which
             are essential to the economic and social welfare of the Noosa Heads community and business area.

             TPA23569) in 2006 and was subject to a number of extension requests.
             Two Development Applications are currently active over the subject land (MCU18/0015 for 12 units and 3
             dwelling houses and associated RAL18/0001 to subdivide the land to facilitate the new development), which
             were lodged with Council in 2018 following an extensive campaign resulting in a lack of market acceptance of
             the end product reflected by the original approval (see proposed Lot Reconfiguration Plan for MCU
             application at Attachment 5). The alternate design reflected in the ‘active’ applications was in direct response
             to market feedback that a less dense and more sympathetic development concept was preferred for the
             subject land.
             The Draft New Noosa Plan proposes to ‘downzone’ the subject land such that the majority of the site is
             included within the Environmental Management and Conservation Zone with a small portion in the south
             included within the Medium Density Residential Zone.
