Proposal Report - Short term Accomodation

                                                                                                                        proposal report




It is noted that the outcomes of the zone also state:

     a) Medium density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to permanent
        residents.
     h) Short-term visitor accommodation is predominately provided through well-established
        resorts and holiday units.

The subject site is located in an area that caters for both for visitor accommodation as well as residential
dwellings used for permanent accommodation. The use of the subject site for visitor accommodation will
not prejudice the outcome of the zone as there are still areas in the locality available for permanent
accommodation.

A review of the most relevant sections of the Medium Density Residential code is detailed below:
