 Submitter   Summary of Submissions and Grounds of Submission                                                               Planner’s response   Recommendation
 21003954         numerous other consequences from allowing poorly regulated holiday accommodation in residential
                  areas.
 21003971
             •    When a house in total is rented this should not be allowed if the house is in a normal residential
 21003993         street with no other commercial accommodation available.
 21003997    •    The rights of owner occupiers who bought into quiet residential areas, and contribute to the economy
                  and prosperity of the shire 365 days a year, must be set above those of opportunistic investors
 21004027
                  whose only interest is in maximising their returns and are nowhere to be found when problems arise;
 21004073    •   support the draft regulations to protect the rights of Noosa residents over the vested interests of Real
 21004077        Estate Agents, investors and developers.
             Negative impacts on residential amenity and community
 21004083
             •    concern for loss of residential amenity in low density residential zones;
 21004089
             •    it is important that residential areas be protected from short term accommodation which significantly
 21004098         reduces the amenity of an area and forces permanent residents to consider selling;
 21004101    •    Council has a responsibility to maintain the amenity of residential neighbourhoods;
 21004106    •    Keep Noosa unique and special
 21004111    •    investors are compromising council planning intentions, hollowing out permanence from residential
                  neighbourhoods, particularly in low density zones, and destroying all sense of community;
 21004116
             •    without permanent residents a community falls apart;
 21004129    •    there is a vast difference between the way Airbnb guests behave and the dynamics associated with
 21004229         the operation of a Airbnb guesthouse and the way long term tenants and owner occupiers behave;
             •    short term rentals have a negative impact on amenity and liveability in low density zones as well as a
 21004321
                  negative impact on community cohesion and individual well-being.
 21004328    •    major negative impacts of STR’s include:
 21004371         o the loss of a “sense of Community”
 21004480         o     reduced availability of affordable housing for residents;
 21004504         o     increased traffic and parking congestion;
 21004686         o     increased waste management problems;
 21004768         o     extra ratepayer costs to provide infrastructure.
 21004810    •    must not undermine the very fabric of the community by allowing any expansion or indeed any short
                  residential premises among community based neighbourhoods;
 21004848
             •    short term rental has a negative effect on households, neighbourhoods and community cohesion in
 21004876         low density residential areas;
 21004912    •    This is totally unfair and will cause all sorts of neighbourhood disputes and arguments;
 21005003    •    Do not undermine the fabric of the community;
 21005010    •    The only stakeholder is the community;
             •    Some communities around the world have banned Air BNB completely;
 21005048
             •   STR has had a negative effect on households, neighbourhoods and community cohesion in low
 21005073        density residential areas and the proposed changes will go some way towards addressing the issues
 21005120        STR is causing for residents and ensuring these negative effects are contained into the future.
             Negative impacts on housing market
 21005582
 21005122
             •    Impacts on rental prices
             •    Adds to Noosa’s housing crisis – supply and demand
 21005150
             •    Interstate investors purchasing properties have greatly decreased the number of permanent rentals.
 21005602
             •   Houses are empty when not in use;
 21005204    Negative impacts on day to day life
 21005271    •    residents expect to be able to enjoy their homes without having to put up with holiday makers staying
 21004063         up until late at night talking loudly and/or drinking outside when residents are in bed.

 21005272
             •    Residential areas are so called because residents live there - not visiting members of public from
                  elsewhere. Visiting family and friends are entirely different to paying guests who expect to be able to
 21005312         stay up late and enjoy themselves - coming and going at all hours;
 21005348    •    Unknown people on the common property is a concern.
