GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                             14 NOVEMBER 2022


    Allow the current accepted development and code assessment provisions and thresholds for
     nature based tourism only where the permanent resident remains on site in their principal
     place of residence. Where no resident is to remain on site, make nature based tourism a
     consistent use and impact assessable.
    Tourist parks continue to be accepted development and code assessment with current
     provisions, however only where the permanent resident remains on site in their principal
     place of residence. Tourist parks remain inconsistent impact assessment above the accepted
     and code assessment thresholds.
    Continue to permit home hosted accommodation in accordance with the current provisions
     in NP2020.
Tourist Accommodation zone
    Reinforce the purpose and outcomes to be achieved by development within the Tourist
     Accommodation zone for the current and long term provision of a variety of tourist
     accommodation types, tourist related activities and businesses and primary location for
     visitors, and not preferred for residents.
    Make multiple dwellings an inconsistent use in the zone.
Centres zones
To ensure future development for small dwellings in business centres is delivered and not taken
up or competing with short term accommodation, it is also recommended that short term
accommodation be an inconsistent use in business centre zones.
The exception is in the Village Mix Precinct at Noosa Shire Business centre and Local Centre zone
in Cooroy, where motel or serviced apartment style accommodation is appropriate to support
surrounding uses, such as in the Innovation zone. Small dwellings for permanent residents will
continue to be permitted in Centre zones, to ensure the provision of permanent dwellings for key
workers as a priority over visitor accommodation.
Strategic Intent and outcomes
Make relevant changes to the Strategic Intent and Outcomes consistent with the changes to zones
outlined above to provide a high level direction on the preferred and hierarchy of landuse outcomes
in the zones. Be clear in the strategic intent and outcomes regarding the interface of visitors and
tourists and how they should be managed and be future focused on the long term outcomes for
permanent residents and visitors.
Local Plans and Development codes
Make relevant changes to the Local Plans and Development Codes to reinforce the landuse
outcomes in each zone in the locality consistent with the changes being made to the consistent
uses in each zone and the overall strategic intent and outcomes. Provide a finer level of detail
regarding the locality’s role in support permanent residents and / or visitors where required.
Spatial zone allocations
    Undertake a review of the Medium and High Density zone allocations together with a review
     of the Tourist Accommodation zone to ensure the desired long term landuse outcomes are
     supported by the zone. Make alterations to these zones where required to support the long
     term strategic intent to support either future housing stock or tourist accommodation.
    Ensure these changes are supported by the Strategic intent and outcomes, relevant local
     plans and development codes.
