    Noosaville and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.     The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
                community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will
                further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident
                amenity.
         2.     The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a)
                and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
                a.    The proposal is located in an area that it is not predominantly home to
                      permanent residents, with many properties being used for visitor
                      accommodation and/or properties permitted under historical development
                      approvals for visitor accommodation.
                b.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation
                      facility within 2 recently approved dual occupancies and is not located within
                      a well-established resort or holiday units.
         3.     The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t)
                and Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:
                a.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                      impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
                b.    While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it does
                      not seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to
                      the detriment of permanent residents.
         4.     The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
                (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
                a.    The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and
                      integrated with permanent residents in the area given the number and
                      density of properties currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or
                      permitted for visitor accommodation.
