Attached to the e-mail MCU18/0084 - Information Response & Amended Proposal Plans.
Tuesday, 26 June 2018 Our Ref: 18135 / Office: Sunshine Coast Council Ref: MCU18/0084 NOOSA COUNCIL PO BOX 141 TEWANTIN QLD 4565 ATTENTION: Glen Conforti Dear Glen, INFORMATION RESPONSE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – VISITOR ACCOMMODATION – TYPE 3 RURAL 340 POMONA KIN KIN ROAD, PINBARREN LOT 26 ON M37911 Further to your information request for the abovementioned development application we now respond to all of the information requested. START INFORMATION RESPONSE Issue - Cabins Further to discussion on site with the property owner, it appears that the size of the cabins is currently undecided. Information Required 1. Please confirm the size of the cabins, and if different to that submitted with the application documentation, provide amended plans. Comment: Please find attached a floor plan and elevations for the new cabin details that our clients would like to have approved. As you will see from the plans, the applicant now intends to provide one cabin type to allow them to focus entirely on the family market. As a result, the proposed cabin has a 2 larger floor area (57m ) and can sleep up to 4 people. The development will continue to be undertaken in two stages with 3 cabins provided in each stage. Following discussions with the applicant, we can confirm that they intend to paint the cabins in muted natural colours and to landscape the areas around the cabins to provide privacy and to help them blend successfully into the rural landscape. The applicant is happy to accept a condition in this respect. As the proposed change to the cabin type will increase the total number of bedrooms in the proposed development from 9 to 12, further assessment has been undertaken below against Probable Solution S35.1 and Specific Outcome O35 in Table 14-36: Type 3 – Rural Accommodation within the Visitor Accommodation Code. Probable Solution S35.1 reads as follows.

S35.1 Rural accommodation does not exceed a site density of-
a) 2 cabins per hectare; or
b) 2 guest bedrooms per hectare, providing the overall number of cabins and guest
bedrooms does not exceed 6.
Comment:
As the application site is more than 16 hectares in size, the proposed density is less than 1 cabin per
2.5 hectare and therefore complies both with S35.1 (a) and the bedroom density of 2 guest bedrooms
per hectare set out in S35.2. Notwithstanding this compliance, as the total number of bedrooms
exceeds the 6 bedrooms maximum mentioned in S35.1(b), an assessment of the proposal against
Specific Outcome O35, which reads as follows, has been undertaken.
O35 Rural accommodation is associated with rural production, agricultural pursuits and
promoting the natural environment and takes the form of farmstays, bed and breakfasts,
cabins, cottages or a small guest lodge.
The proposal is considered to comply with O35 for the following reasons:
as indicated in the Planning Report the development will provide short-term farmstay
accommodation. As a result, guests will be encouraged to join in the day to day farming activities
on the site to learn about rural production;
the proposed change to the cabin type will allow the applicant to provide accommodation more
suited to families and the farm stay experience;
the site is close to the existing Noosa Trail Network (Trail 2) and guests will be encouraged to
utilise this network to enjoy the natural environment around the site;
the site will continue to be used for rural production and the proposed accommodation will be an
ancillary operation that will help to underpin this primary use of the land; and
the cabins are lightweight and are erected on a frame above ground for ease of removal. This is
particularly important as it limits the impact that the cabins will have on the primary agricultural
use of the site and will allow them to be removed easily in the future should this be necessary.
END INFORMATION RESPONSE
Part 3: Information Request has now concluded. We ask that you now provide details of adjoining
owners in order that we may commence the public notification of the application.
Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.
Yours faithfully
