EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report advises Council that an appeal has been lodged against a decision made by Council to
refuse a development application for Material Change of Use for Short-term accommodation at 561
Gympie Kin Kin Road, Kin Kin.
The application was recommended for approval by the Senior Development Planner, however
following extensive discussion at both the Planning & Environment Committee and the General
Committee, the application was refused by Council due to it being contrary to the Noosa Plan 2020
as it was determined the proposal:
      •   does not protect agricultural land from encroachment from urban development and would
          compromise productivity.
      •   is not an ancillary rural industry which supports production, investment, and diversification
          and does not complement rural uses or promote the sustainable use of rural land.
      •   does not provide for high quality nature-based and rural tourism experiences.
      •   does not protect the rural neighbourhood from short term visitor accommodation that would
          impact on the amenity enjoyed by residents.
      •   does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and activities that are
          compatible with the character and environmental features of the zone.
      •   is inconsistent with the Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 - Keep Noosa Home
      •   is inconsistent with the Noosa Council Short Term Accommodation Monitoring Report
The matter is in order for Council to defend the appeal
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Senior Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
dated 12 August 2024 regarding Planning & Environment Court Appeal 1997 of 2024 and agree to
defend the appeal.
