Home hosted accommodation is now classified as a home based business, no longer
needs planning approval and is now accepted development subject to requirements
under Noosa Plan 2020. The effects of the ongoing operation of the use however are
currently unregulated.
A local law approval for home hosted accommodation is considered appropriate as it
will ensure the use is not operating outside the requirements of Noosa Plan 2020. This
is particularly important for ensuring the use is not operating within a secondary
dwelling or other self-contained areas within a dwelling house reserved for permanent
residents, as a number of compliance issues have arisen on this specific matter.
In addition, a local law approval will ensure basic minimum safety standards are met
for fire alarms and pool safety and the operator has public liability insurance. It will also
apply the same residential amenity, waste and parking requirements for the business
use, consistent with short stay letting.
Approvals will also inform Council where home hosted accommodation is occurring for
data collection and informing the tourism levy.
