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

 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ response   Recommendation
 20862009         make the entire suburb of Sunshine Beach a Short-term stay precinct and destroy our entire
                  community.
 20862010
             •    Completely disagrees that the entire suburb of Sunshine Beach should have the capacity to Short-term
 20862017         let. What is left of a local community there will be totally decimated should this go ahead and will add
 20862018         to lack of permanent rentals available.
             •    Opposes the creation of Short Stay areas such as at Sunshine Beach – they will further destroy this
 20862023
                  neighbourhood for permanent living and increase the negative impacts of lack of amenity and lifestyle
 20862028         for all existing residents. Whilst this area does have probably the lowest of number of residential
                  houses this does not mean that these ratepayers are not significant nor should they be penalised. To
 20862473         isolate this area for short stays will only increase the current problems of properties being loudly
 20863146         groomed weekly where we are already struggling with lack of street parking and this is impacting the
                  residences and clean away rubbish removal with the bins being behind all the cars.
 20863349
             •    Council’s primary responsibility is to its residents and not visitors. Over tourism is having a significant
 20863737         impact on the amenity and lifestyle of residents and it is unclear how the proposal would fix these
                  issues.
 20864430
             •    While the impacts of short term accommodation can be lived with, it is the inference that the 'best
 20864504         areas'; of Noosa should be given over to tourists. The residents already suffer enough from the
                  negative effects of tourism (particularly road closures). Residents came to Noosa for its attractions like
 20864838
                  the river and parkland. There is a social justice issue in further denying (or at least discouraging)
 20865025         residents’ access to the reasons and attractions they came to live here for.
 20865572    Increased short term accommodation in residential area

 20866057    •    This legitimises an already distressing situation for residents of Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach,
                  Noosa Heads and Noosaville putting up with increasing instances of short-term letting within their
 20866400         neighbourhood and only encourages more of them
 20866539    •    Council is turning our area into one that will become a glorified tourist precinct with neighbouring
                  properties allowed and even encouraged to provide Short-term tourist accommodation.
 20866546
             •   While Council offers an apparently caring regulatory protection to ensure amenity and privacy of
 20866719        neighbourhood residential premises, in reality, the proposed inclusion of our property in the Short Stay
 20867015        Map, creates a business platform for neighbouring properties to make available five bedrooms for ten
                 guests (hotel/motel style) Short-term stays.
 20867100    Contradicts local plan codes
 20867101    •    Proposal seems to contradict the outcomes and purpose of the coastal Communities Local Plan Code
 20867102         and Low Density Residential Zone in relation to high levels of amenity.
             Not the solutions to fix problems
 20867117
 20867142    •    Designating large areas of prime real estate for unfettered expansion of Short-term accommodation
                  does not fix or address the problem.
 20867157
             •    An exclusion area will not eliminate the issue but rather compound the issue in areas where Short-term
 20867162         letting can continue still offering no forms of governance.
 20867167    •    Does nothing to regulate STA’s except confine them to the most expensive and most desirable living
                  areas of the shire. Over time this will exclude long term renters from beachside areas and lead to
 20867195         gentrification.
 20867199    •  The maps are not useful or necessary as other options are available
 20867675    Does not address impacts from short stay or help residents

 20867696    •    Agree with council's views regarding, reduced residential liveability, private residential amenity and
                  disruption to Sense of Community, so why is Council not being responsible in providing protection and
 20867732         controls for all ratepayers and but considering turning their residential area into one that will become a
                  glorified tourist precinct with neighbouring properties allowed and even encouraged to provide Short-
 20867753
                  term tourist accommodation.
 20867754    •    Neighbours within the SSA have no control over the situation unless proper planning assessment
 20867791         conducted

 20868174    •    Does nothing to provide assurance or help to residents affected by short-term accommodation in their
                  neighbourhood but allows a free for all approach within coastal areas with no transparency or
 20868220         regulation
 20868346    •    Does nothing to increase Council’s ability to identify STA’s or to seek recompense for extra
                  infrastructure
 20868426
             •    Designating large areas of prime real estate for unfettered expansion of Short-term accommodation
 20868597         does not fix or address the problem.
