-          owner occupied and not used for short tenn accommodation. The existing residential amenity of the
           immediate neighbourhood is therefore one that has been enjoyed by owner occupiers in the past
           Over the last year our immediate neighbourhood has lost its valued residential amenity to the extent
           some owners have felt it necessary to lodge complaints with Council .. The a~prov~ of the above
           development approval will legitimise what has been happening to our U1lll1ed1a~e ~e1ghb~urhood for
           the last 2.5 years from a land use perspective. The proposed local law may assist ID prov1dmg an
           improved means to lodging a complaint however many of the issues being experienced cannot negated
            by enforcing Council's local law.


    7. The proposal is considered to not be consistent with 3.2.4 Housing in the 2020 Noosa Plan which requires
            proposed development to meet diverse needs of the community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the
            Strategic Framework, as it will further erode the pennanent housing in the area, impacting pennan_ent
            resident amenity. The applicant's response that .. . 'The applicant seeks to use the dwelling for their
            own use and if refused for short term accommodation will not permanently rent the dwelling.
            Therefore, by refusing this development will not erode permanent housing ' ... is somewhat naive.
             The response does not properly appreciate the relevance of the tenn "community". It is considered
            that "community" could be regarded in this context to refer to a group of people living in the same
            place or having a particular characteristic in common. The surrounding community is predominantly
            owner occupiers. The intent of the above extract from the 2020 Noosa Plan is for proposed
            development to meet diverse needs of that community of owner occupiers not to diversify the nature
            of residents/occupants. The response also disregards also that any such existing development
            approval runs with the land and can benefit successors in title and not just the applicant. The needs,
            preferences and wants of the relevant owner at the time can change over time.


    8. The proposal is not considered to be consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t) and
             Perfonnance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code in the 2020 Noosa Plan as:
              (i) Additional visitor accommodation in the area has already proven over the last 2.5 years to result
                  in detrimental impacts on the residential amenity of pennanent residents.
               (ii) While the above code in the 2020 Noosa Plan seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the
                      area, it doesn't seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to the
                      detriment of pennanent residents. The development proposal clearly proposes to increase the
                      extent of (lawful) extent of visitor accommodation within the area to the detriment of pennanent
                      residents.


     9. It is considered that the proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f)
             of the Visitor Accommodation Code in the 2020 Noosa Plan because :
              (i) The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and integrated with pennanent
                   residents in the area.
              (ii) The design and construction of the existing dwelling for the proposed short tenn accommodation
                   use has continually been proven to be inappropriate for such a use over the last 2.5 years
                   especially when located in an immediate neighbour of predominantly pennanent residents.
               (iii) The propos~d visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed by residents
                      nearby and ID the surroundmg area as it has done for the last 2.5 years.


     10. The development _proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12 of the Visitor
             Accommodat10n Code and Performance Outcome PO6 of the Driveway and Parkin c d · th 2020

     11. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that there is a need for additional short term accommodation
                                                                                                          . m . the
