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

 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                            Planners’ Response   Recommendation
             despite Noosa Council records indicating they have not applied for an MCU.
             This raises questions over waste management and sanitation, compliance with building codes and lack of
             bushfire planning. Cites an example of a previously approved lifestyle retreat which offers six cabins for
             permanent rental.
             Concerned the plan encourages rural enterprise or home based business in the Rural zone, particularly
             encouraging the “hosting of visitors” in RV’s, camping, cabins etc. The desire to provide rural land owners
             with alternative sources of income is commendable but concerned about the impact on the lifestyle amenity
             on land owners seeking a quiet peaceful rural lifestyle. Increased traffic on rural roads, noise impacts from
             an increased human presence and visual impacts from a potential proliferation of small dwellings of varying
             standards all of which will impact negatively on other residents seeking to avoid the pressures of population
             growth and enjoy a quiet rural lifestyle
             Don’t object in principle to small scale visitor accommodation on rural land, however don’t agree that every
             site above 4Ha will be suitable for commercial tourism accommodation.
             Have no issues with current allowances for small scale RV parks on larger rural properties as these
             amendments include appropriate safeguards.
             Such rural enterprises should contribute to Noosa Council’s Tourism Levy; be required to produce evidence
             of suitable insurance; be subject to inspection to ensure suitability and standard of accommodation; and
             obtain advice and training in the tourism industry possibly facilitated by Tourism Noosa.
