Response to Information Request

              • loud aggressive conduct;
              • yelling, screaming, arguing; or
              • excessively loud cheering, clapping and singing.
        iv.   create a level of noise above the acceptable levels described by Queensland Government legislation for
              environmental protection (noise).

The abovementioned operating procedures are consistent with other short-term accommodation uses that Council has
recently approved in the nearby area. These operating procedures will be incorporated in a code of conduct that guests must
agree to prior staying at the premises and this can form A condition of approval.


Issue - residential area

Overall outcome (2) (a) of the Medium Density Residential zone code seeks that ‘Medium density residential neighbourhoods
are predominantly home to permanent residents’.


Information Required

4.     Provide some analysis around the ratio of permanent residences and short term uses within the neighbourhood, which
       complies with Overall outcome (2) (a).

Response

The following provides a list of short-term accommodation uses in the surrounding Medium Density Residential zoned land:
    • 7-9 The Cockleshell - The Cockleshell Sands
    • 2 Nola Street - Short term Accommodation use (under assessment)
    • 4 Nola Street - Multiple Dwelling and Visitor Accommodation Use (under construction)
    • 15 The Cockleshell - Terrapin Apartments

These four properties used for short term accommodation purposes represent a ratio of 12.5% of the 32 properties within the
surrounding Medium Density Residential zoned land that front The Cockleshell, Nola Street, and Sylvia Street. While some
short-term accommodation uses exist and have recently been approved in the nearby neighbourhood, the majority of
properties are occupied by permanent residential uses and the proposal will not undermine the function of the Medium
Density Residential zone. Further, the proposed change would allow for the flexible use of the units for either permanent or
short-term purposes.




This office trusts that the information supplied comprehensively addresses all of the issues relating to the information request.
Should you have any further questions in relation to the proposal, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned on 0423
