        Peregian Beach and:
        A.   Refuse the application in accordance with the following conditions:
             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
                    increased visitor accommodation is not sought or needed for the area and
                    visitor accommodation will further erode the permanent housing in the area,
                    impacting permanent resident amenity.
             2.     The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome
                    (2)(o) and Performance Outcome PO1, PO2 & PO15 of the Coastal
                    Communities Local Plan Code as:
                    i.     The extent of visitor accommodation has started to erode the available
                           supply of permanent housing in the local plan area.
                    ii.    The proposal seeks to establish a short-term accommodation in an
                           area which is predominantly permanent residential dwellings; and
                    iii.   Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in
                           detrimental impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of
                           permanent residents.
             3.     The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (1) and (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
                    i.     The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located in
                           Peregian Beach being in an area that is predominantly home to
                           permanent residents and consequently does not integrate well into the
                           area.
                    ii.    The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the
                           amenity enjoyed by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations
                           for the area.
             4.     The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
