Delegated Report - Code - Planning - MCU26 0047 (As Published)

               The outstanding matter is the secondary dwelling is proposed to be utilised for short term
               accommodation while the primary dwelling is currently approved for short term Accommodation
               Use. However, one of the criteria for short term accommodation being code assessable in the Rural
               zone is that the Short term accommodation use is on the same site as the applicant’s principal
               place of residential. Therefore the short term accommodation use of the primary dwelling must
               cease.
               The applicant’s proposed solution to this matter, as outlined above, is considered too convoluted
               and does not provide sufficient certainty for Council.
               It is recommended that the short-term accommodation be conditioned to be limited to the approved
               secondary dwelling cabin only, operated consistently with the Noosa Plan 2020 definition, and not
               used for parties, events or functions. They also require the primary dwelling to cease all short-term
               accommodation use before the cabin use starts, including removal of any advertising or listings,
               and written evidence to Council confirming that the existing short stay letting approval for the
               primary dwelling has been cancelled and is no longer in effect.
               This evidence must be to the satisfaction of Council.
