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

 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ response   Recommendation
 20868611    •   Submitter concerned about their street being included within the Short Stay Area.
 20868645    •   Objects to the Short Stay Area map including low density residential land at Marcus Beach as it gives
                 neighbours no control over potential impacts of Short-term accommodation. This effectively gives a
 20876508        property owner carte blanche approval to change the use of their property from low density to a higher
                 density use without further ado. Submitter chose Marcus Beach because of its low density qualities,
                 peacefulness, serenity and bonus of knowing their neighbours and enjoying a sense of community.
             Sacrificing areas to save others – requests for exclusions from short stay map
             •   The 'sacrificial zone' within the SSA has strong social equity and social justice implications. Residents
                 within the SSA have to live with negative impacts of short term accommodation
             •   Residents of Noosaville object to inclusion in proposed Short Stay Area which will adversely impact on
                 the private low density residential lifestyle they currently enjoy. This represents a radical zoning
                 change and should short stay accommodation be allowed with ‘no permit required’ it will effectively turn
                 our neighbourhood into a commercial rental zone.
             •   The proposed rezoning of Little Cove for small scale visitor accommodation is totally inappropriate as it
                 will fundamentally change the nature and character of an area that has been established and
                 recognised as a traditional residential zone for more than 50 years. Retain zoning in this area that
                 encourages retention of the community characteristics for which the area has long been cherished and
                 introduce regulations that specifically prohibit short-term rentals in this area. (Includes petition with 22
                 signatures)
             •   Request that short-term accommodation not be allowed on the Peregian Esplanade without planning
                 approval. There is a general transition in the esplanade towards more substantial homes whilst the
                 older dwellings are being demolished or modernised. Also towards permanent accommodation for
                 residents, rather than for holiday letting.
             •   No Short-term Visitor Accommodation in Mahogany Drive Keep the above out of traditional residential
                 housing areas
             •   Chose to buy Sunshine Beach home 20 years ago because it was zoned for single dwelling residential
                 homes with a low density residential character. Under the proposed New Noosa Plan, this residential
                 character and amenity is completely jeopardised to allow for commercial activity.
             Penalises certain properties
             •   This penalising the less well-off who can’t afford beach front property and makes them incur undefined
                 costs of entry for those wanting to continue letting in the form of planning applications, (let alone the
                 complications and subjectivity of granting planning for Short-term letting).
             •   Surely the people that can afford to rent these properties can afford to rent a hotel on Hastings Street.
                 Also properties in the attractive areas of Noosa and Sunshine Beach, would be more likely to attract the
                 types of people looking to party.
             •   Don’t punish people who live off the beach strip, who more than likely have a mortgage, are working
                 class with kids in school and just want to rent their property for a few weeks a year so that they can
                 afford to take their young family on holiday.
             •   We all pay rates and contribute to the local economy and this is segregating and taking away our rights.
             •   There are other more equal ways to manage this. Allowing all home owners / rate payers the same
                 choice is a better approach,
             •   You might consider what proportion of a street is reasonable for short-term accommodation.
             •  Properties in SSA will undoubtedly become more preferable and their prices will go up
             Suggest inclusion of other areas
             •   Houses back from the prime beachfront and tourist locations can offer a pet friendly and a much more
                 affordable option for families.
             •   Some of the streets within the mapped are well removed from shops or services that would suggest a
                 tourist precinct
             •   Our location is only a 10 minute walk to Noosa Junction, 20 minute walk to Hasting Street, to the Noosa
                 Farmers market and also to Gympie Terrace. Many guests like the fact that the house is in a quiet area
                 and also, more affordable. I question why our neighbourhood is not included in the zoning due to the
                 very central proximity.
             •   Suggests all properties with 1km of shoreline should be treated the same way.
             •   The Noosa Entrance Waterfront Resort to the south of Gibson Road should be included in Short Stay
                 Area Map
             •   Segregating by zones will only drive Short-term prices higher, due to less competition. This will mean
                 again that Noosa becomes purely an expensive place to visit - which will no doubt have a negative
