             number of allowable bedrooms (two) remains unchanged and therefore will not result in an increase in the
             occupancy numbers. The increase in floor area would relate to living areas and will not alter the impacts to
             development on lots in larger Rural and Rural Residential zones.

             for by-laws and design purpose of the visitor resort.
             With a growing number of resorts being overrun with permanents and live in’s poses a strong risk of losing
             quality onsite managers and Management Rights ownership due to the lack of income in management
             rights through loss of holiday units.
             Loss of holiday accommodation to permanent residents or lock ups - if tourists will have nowhere or limited
             places to stay they will not come.
             Visitors spend money with other operators in the region. This filters a lot of money out of the local
             economy. Too many owner occupiers in resorts will eventually mean the end of tourism based business in
             Noosaville due to them not using the watercraft hire companies.
             Live in’s and permanents take over resorts and erode the ambiance all resorts should have. Residents can
             cause friction with paying guests. Some feel as though they own the resort and that holiday guests
             inconvenience them. This takes away from the guest experience and in turn can decrease return cliental
             and deteriorate the resorts reputation.
             Permanent residents are known to ignore body corporate bylaws such as appearance of the lot, noise,
             carparking, authority of the onsite management and use of common areas. Permanents living in a unit all
             year round will significantly wear down a unit more rapidly than a holiday unit that is maintained and
             cleaned at least twice a week.
