               3.1. Background
               17 August 2009 - approval for a Visitor Accommodation Type 4 – Conventional (Visitor Hostel) at
               102 Pacific Avenue Sunshine Beach issued under the Noosa Plan 2006.
               Whilst the land was zoned Detached Housing the Noosa Plan classified Visitor Accommodation
               Type 4 as a consistent use on this site. The application was subject to Impact Assessment. Two
               properly made submissions were received. The application included the following features:
               •    A two-storey ‘L’ shaped design incorporating the existing building on-site that focuses the
                    dormitory rooms internally around the landscaped spa pool area
               •    14 hostel rooms (including 1 x 2 beds, 8 x 3 beds, 4 x 4 beds & 1 x 6 beds) sleeping a total of
                    48 people
               •    3 clusters of 4 individual bathrooms established around dormitory rooms, while two of the
                    dormitory rooms include their own separate ensuite (total of 14 bathrooms)
               •    Communal laundry, kitchen, recreation and dining rooms
               •    Office and reception area
               •    A one-bedroom managers unit with ensuite; and
               •    On-site parking for 5 cars and 1 minibus
               17 December 2009 - change to the approval to allow for the staging of the development and the
               removal of a koala habitat tree.
               12 November 2018 approval of an Other change, for an additional 21 beds over 102 Pacific Ave
               (Lot 164 RP 94566 / 506m²). This site was adjoining the already established 48 bed facility and
               was also contained within the Detached Housing zone under the Noosa Plan 2006. At the time of
               the application this site was improved with a 3-unit Accommodation building.
               A requirement of the approval was for the amalgamation of this smaller lot into the larger adjoining
               lot to the east (Lot 163 RP 897370 / 1,012m²) which now results in a combined site area of 1,520m².
               In addition, this approval also required the installation of an acoustic fence (see Figure 6) at the
               eastern corner of the site to ensure appropriate acoustic separation between the site and adjoining
               residential premises to the east.
