PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 7 DECEMBER 2021


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposal is to utilise an existing and approved duplex to include a Short term accommodation
use to accommodate 6 people.
The application is recommended for refusal as the proposal will further erode the permanent
housing in the area and there is no need for additional accommodation for visitors to the area. The
proposal is contrary to the scheme’s requirements to maintain the area as predominantly home to
permanent residents, and the use is not proposed within a well-established resort or holiday units,
does not satisfy car parking requirements, and has the potential to impact on the amenity of
permanent residents.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 7 December 2021 regarding Application No. MCU16/0138.03 and
OPW16/0257.03 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for a Material Change of Use
for 2 x Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex and Operational Works (Access, Stormwater, and
landscaping) to include Short-term accommodation for Lot 1 on SP 308427, situated at 1/113
Gympie Tce Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.   The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
          community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will further
          erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident amenity.
     2.   The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and
          (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
          a.     The proposal is located in a medium density residential neighbourhood that is
                 predominately used for short term accommodation. The introduction of additional
                 short term accommodation within a duplex unit is not consistent with the zone’s
                 outcome to maintain the area as predominantly home to permanent residents.
          b.     The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation dwelling
                 within a duplex and is not located within a well-established resort or holiday units.
     3.   The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t) and
          Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:
          a.     Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                 impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
          b.     While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it does not
                 seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to the
                 detriment of permanent residents.
     4.   The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
          (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
          a.     The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and integrated
                 with permanent residents in the area given the number and density of properties
                 currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or permitted for use as visitor
                 accommodation.
          b.     The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
                 by residents nearby and in the surrounding area.
     5.   The proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12 of the Visitor
          Accommodation Code and Performance Outcome PO6 of the Driveway and Parking
          Code as insufficient car parking is proposed on site to address the likely parking
          demands on site.
     6.   There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
