PM Submission Object - Joanne Case - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

       included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to
       the Planning Scheme’s intent to retain the caravan park.

       It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s intent for
       the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor accommodation
       proposed…….

The DA does not reflect this advice.

The other thing to mention here is the Planning and Environment Court sanctioned
approval of 12 February 2010 of the now lapsed DA referred to above. At item 3 it stated:
       The units shall operate in accordance with the defined use of ‘Visitor
       accommodation – Type 4 Conventional’ in the Noosa Plan, which provides for short
       term visitor accommodation. The units shall not be used for the purpose of
       permanent residential accommodation, with the exception of two
       manager/caretaker’s units. The Community Management Statement for any or all
       Bodies Corporate having control of the development, or any part thereof, shall
       incorporate this requirement.”

The DA is totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

The proposal:
Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or Persons)
They are all proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
       The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There are 9 of these
       with 3 bedrooms. (27 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated price $825K

       The Wallum Units (along Rufous Lane). There are 7 of these with 3 bedrooms. (21
       persons). Carparking is 5x3 and 2x2. Estimated price $725‐800K

       Reed Beach Houses (behind the Hotel) – There are 10 of these with 4 bedrooms
       upstairs and living down. (40 persons). Carparking is 10x3. These units will be
       approximately 6m below the Hotel level. Estimated price $850K.

Essence Hotel/(Motel) & Conference Centre – 40 beds
       The developer proposes to develop and run the hotel with 20 visitor
       accommodation rooms and 12 apartments (4 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2 bedroom)
       which are described as “multiple and visitor”. (40 persons). The 12 apartments are
       proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
       The Hotel will apparently employ 15 people (full‐time and part‐time) including
       conference facilitators. The Conference room is small and apparently will seat 40. 40
       Car parks are proposed with all bar 3 (Visitor parking?) under the Hotel and behind a
       security gate.
