RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 10 August 2021 and the Further Report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 19 August
2021 regarding Application No. MCU21/0079 for a Development Application for a Material Change
of Use for Short Term Accommodation situated at 4 Teal Street, Peregian Beach, 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 dwelling units available for permanent housing in the area, impacting
           permanent resident amenity.
     2.    The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(o) and
           Performance Outcomes PO1, PO2 and PO15 of the Coastal Communities Local Plan
           Code as:
           i.     The extent of visitor accommodation has eroded the available supply of permanent
                  housing in the local plan area; and
           ii.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                  impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent residents.
     3.    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:
           i.     The proposal will contribute to the proliferation of visitor accommodation in the area
                  and will further impact on the medium density residential neighbourhood being
                  maintained as predominantly home to permanent residents.
           ii.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility
                  within a detached house, and is not located within a well-established resort or
                  holiday units.
     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:
           i.     The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
                  by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.
     5.    There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
