                          I understand you are considering altering the areas that are deemed 'Tourist Areas' and those that should
                          be 'Residential'. I can understand this but my Family and Owners of Noosa Pacific 2 have Purchased
                          property for the long term future and their commitment to the Tourist trade in Queensland. Some of my
                          Owners already pay increased Rates for 'Transitory Accommodation' which is an impost already.
                          I must inform you that the Region needs both Tourist Accommodation that is viable for Owners to Invest
                          in, areas gazetted for Residential only areas should not affect the viability of this very Vibrant Tourism
                          Industry.
                          I believe that Noosa Pacific 2, is clearly in the Tourist Area within walking distance to Hasting Street and
                          or Noosaville.
                          I wish you the best but am concerned Owners might look to Sell their Tourist Units if this Review was
                          Successful in changing the perception of areas that are clearly Tourist Accommodation.

                          is a good start to reducing short term rentals in residential areas.                                            It is acknowledged that many operators of short-term accommodation do an excellent job of managing               proposed amendments as a
                          My neighbour operates short term rental from their home and I can only say they do all the right things,        their property and guest behaviour, with respect for their neighbours.                                           result of this submission.
                          they are registered, they ensure that their house is not used as a party house. They vet their clients and
                          I have never had any noise or other problems from them.
