Given the above reasons, it is requested that the Condition be revised to allow the outdoor area to
be utilised until 10:00pm by the short-term accommodation guests.
Furthermore, to restrict the use of the outdoor areas when the dwelling is being utilised by the
property owners is unreasonable. As such, it is recommended that the Condition be revised to
allow the owners of the property to enjoy their property without limitation.
It is proposed that Condition 6 of the Decision Notice is amended to read as:
6. All outdoor areas, including balconies, decks, pool and the like, must not be used by those
persons using the property for Short-Term Accommodation after 10pm each night.
Assessment of Representation
It is considered that the short-term accommodation use will have the potential to adversely impact
nearby neighbouring residents’ amenity compared with other approvals issued for short term
accommodation in rural areas. Similar approvals included a greater setback to neighbouring
properties than the subject site. The outdoor pool area is located approximately 5 metres from the
side property boundary and 35 metres from the neighbouring dwelling. Use of outdoor areas at
night has the potential to impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties and as such it is not
considered unreasonable to restrict the use of outdoor areas to 9pm each night.
