PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        9 MARCH 2021




10.1 Proposed amendment:
Amend Zoning Map ZM-10 by including properties at 21, 23 and 25 Garnet Street Cooroy within
the Medium Density Residential Zone.
11      Relocatable Home Parks
Noosa Plan 2020 currently limits the zones where relocatable home parks are a consistent use.
The use of “relocatable home park”, as defined in the Planning Regulation 2017 is the use of
premises for—
      (a)    relocatable dwellings for long-term residential accommodation; or
      (b)   amenity facilities, food and drink outlets, a manager’s residence, or recreation facilities
            for the exclusive use of residents, if the use is ancillary to the use in paragraph (a).
This is distinct to the use of “retirement facility” which is defined as follows:
retirement facility means a residential use of premises for—
      (a)    accommodation for older members of the community, or retired persons, in
            independent living units or serviced units; or
      (b)    amenity and community facilities, a manager’s residence, health care and support
            services, preparing food and drink or staff accommodation, if the use is ancillary to the
            use in paragraph (a).
Notably, neither of these definitions speak of property tenure or building materials.
A relocatable home park places no limit on the age or any other category of potential occupants,
whereas if a property is to be developed for independent living for residents over a certain age
(e.g. 55) it would more properly fall under the land use definition of retirement facility regardless of
                                                                                       Page 77 of 173
