Town Planning Report - Boutique Hotel Development Noosa Springs - June 2021

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



         As part of the application material, Lucid Economics has prepared the Noosa Springs Luxury Hotel
         Impact Assessment Report (IAR) (refer Appendix A). Lucid Economics has advised that the
         Tourism Strategy Noosa 2017-2022 provides guidance and direction for the activities of Tourism
         Noosa in terms of destination management.

         The Strategy acknowledges a ‘lack of availability of short-term room stock’ as well as a ‘lack of
         large conference facilities with high-quality brand association and occupancy availability’. The
         Strategy further recognises the importance of increasing the accommodation supply as it
         identifies a ‘game changer’ as being ‘constantly improving and evolving accommodation’.

         The IAR states:

         The Noosa Springs Luxury Hotel aligns strongly with the Tourism Strategy Noosa 2017-22 as it is
         clearly focused on high-yield visitors and delivering additional hotel room stock to ease the existing
         shortage. The hotel will provide a world-class accommodation experience and further support
         Noosa’s brand of luxury and high-end experiences. Furthermore, the facility has been designed to
         complement the existing function space, which can cater for up to 200 people. As the development
         is located at Noosa Springs, it will contribute to spreading the benefits of tourism across the Noosa
         region.
