                           The proposed level of assessment for multiple dwellings is unnecessarily restrictive and defeats the clear
                           purpose of the zone to provide higher density permanent residential accommodation. The zone’s purpose
                           is adequately expressed and supported by the assessment criteria and built form requirements.
                           Impact assessable (inconsistent use) applications for multiple dwellings will require decisions to be made
                           by full Council and will give rise to potential third party appeals. They will result in unnecessary costs, an
                           increased burden on Council assessment resources, and delay the delivery of residential dwellings.

                           reconsidered to be able to properly provide for visitor accommodation as intended by the planning                 would require considerable investigation.                                                                  response to this submission
                           scheme, in conjunction with the existing facilities at the Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort.
                           There is currently a development application being considered by the Council for a development permit
                           for a material change of use for a resort complex (106 units), bar, food and drink outlet, outdoor sport and
                           recreation (4 tennis courts). While the application is yet to be decided, the assessment has been
                           completed and is recommended for approval subject to a number of conditions, which have been
                           accepted by the applicant.
                           The development is not large in scale providing for 106 rooms, which is intended to operate as a “5-star”
                           resort. An approval would secure the ongoing operation of Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort, as an
                           integrated development, including operation of the restaurant at night (currently not the case) and the
                           tennis centre in the long term.
                           Odour experts agree on the location of the 2.5 odour contour resulting from the dispersion modelling
                           results that have been assessed against the state government’s odour guideline.
                           The proposed visitor accommodation is located to the south of the 2.5 odour contour as shown on the
                           current zoning plan. The current Tourist Accommodation Zone is also constrained by the 2.5 odour
                           contour.
                           The planning scheme clearly intends to provide visitor accommodation on the land, which is reinforced
                           by the change in zoning for “Parkridge Noosa”; however, the current location of the zoning constrains this
                           opportunity. It is not reasonable or practical to expect that the existing facilities will be removed, and a
                           new development be constructed in this location. Further, the current development proposal is integrated
                           within the site, by stepping up the slope, with a built form generally not exceeding the height of the existing
                           vegetation and presenting as two storeys to Resort Drive.
                           It is not the case that the remaining part of the land is to be protected from development being within the
                           Recreation and Open Space Zone. Further, it is also relevant that the subject land is privately owned and
                           not public land. Consequently, the uses on the site are not available for general public use.
                           A number of sport and recreation and other facilities could be established on the land, which includes
                           associated facilities including tennis courts and pools.
                           It is not practical or reasonable for the urban boundary to bisect the subject land. It is not the case that
                           the remaining land is included in the Environmental Management and Conservation Zone to be protected
                           in the long term and it would be appropriate in that case for the urban boundary to be limited to the edge
                           of the Tourist Accommodation Zone. Rather, the remaining land is intended to be developed for sport and
                           recreation purposes.
                           It is suggested that the following amendments should be considered:
                           • • Amend the Tourist Accommodation Zone to include the zone over the southern part of the site,
                             generally consistent with the odour modelling that has been confirmed.
                           • • Include all of the land in the urban boundary as was the case under the former planning scheme, given
                             development is expected to occur within Recreation and Open Space Zone and is not intended to be
                             protected.
                           • • Reconsider the accuracy of the biodiversity overlay mapping that applies to the subject land.


1.8. Duke Street, Sunshine Beach

 5756153                   I do not believe that changing the zoning on Duke St will have a positive impact on the community.                Properties operating STA lawfully can continue to do so, despite the proposed zone change.                 That no change to the proposed
                           Currently our building (sempre has a mix of holiday rentals, perm rentals and owner Occupiers). This              Sunshine Beach is a locality primarily intended for permanent residents, despite a high number of          amendments be made as a result
                           position is great for tourists to visit and spend money at all the shops below.                                   dwellings being used for short-term accommodation. To reinforce the residential nature of Sunshine         of this submission
                           Decreasing short term holiday accommodation would negatively impact these shops and businesses as                 Beach, Duke Street is proposed to be rezoned from Tourist Accommodation zone to Neighbourhood
                           I know in my building there are at least 2 other owners who currently short term rent. If they are no longer      Centre zone allowing a greater range of local businesses and small permanent dwellings in a main street
                           able to do short term rentals they will close doors and only use the units for their own use. This is             environment. A 3 storey height limit will continue to apply, consistent with the current building height
                           impacting the businesses below as currently holiday makers stay and spend money.                                  allowance.
                           I believe these units like on Hasting St were designed for holiday use, so I don't think its a good decision
                           to further impact the economy of this location by making this no longer accessible for short term holiday
                           rentals- who spend their holiday dollars at the shops below.
