 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                              Planners’ response                                                                                              Recommendation

             The removal of the overlay maps that was mentioned in the video I think is a big mistake, this also
             contradicts the statement in the Public Notice Short Stay.pdf where it is stated that "In addition to the
             proposed local law, the new Noosa Plan will regulate where short stay letting (short term accommodation)
             can and cannot occur across the Shire and identify when a development approval is required."
             If this could be clarified that would be great, where will it be allowed?
 21001109    We are pleased to see the overlay maps removed.                                                                   Noted.

             compared to the more commercialised accommodation seen in Noosa, Noosaville and Noosa Heads. Why                  While there may be a process to gain approval for short term accommodation it is considered the
