                        Short term accommodation and holiday rentals provide good accommodation options for visitors and
                        contribute to the local economy in a very positive way. If the proposed areas were to become permanent
                        residential only it would impact significantly on availability of accommodation and on the local businesses.
                        We have had holiday accommodation properties in Noosa for 20+ years and have had good experiences
                        with guests and holiday management companies. We also use the properties for our own use.

                        and Noosa junction if you are lucky. We have such great local businesses and small farms that supply
                        these restaurants with beautiful produce. Then we have the hire boats and ferry's and tourists businesses       Council policy is to diversify employment base and not be reliant on tourism
                        that will suffer as the locals won't hire these items or catch the ferry.
                        What happens to investment into the area with our property investors paying huge rates and fees to
                        provide accommodation.
                        Then we have STA that are all approved along the water front, what happens to them.
                        The jobs that are created from tourism in the Noosa shire will suffer and there will be no need for extra
                        permanent residents as there won't be the jobs to support this.
                        How many businesses have to work in Brisbane and travel for work. Have a look at the hwy going to
                        Brisbane every day because of shortage of work.
                        There is no need to make rash decisions based on what has happened through COVID. The place was
                        booming but so was everywhere else.
                        I have been in business for 23 years and the stabilisation of work and accommodation is starting to
                        happen.
                        I don't wish for Noosa to change their zoning.
                        Why don't we design urban space for town houses to be built. They don't need to be in the centre of
                        Noosaville.
