                        Figure 6 - Location of Proposed Use and Nearby Dwellings

Safe vehicle access from the service road has been demonstrated, with the state as a referral
agency requiring access to be via the existing driveway and inspection showing clear sight lines
for vehicles into and out of the site.
The proposal will also not result in any significant adverse impact on the natural values of the site
or surrounding area or detract from the scenic amenity as experienced from Cooroy Noosa Road,
being accommodated within the site’s existing dwelling.
3.7. Visitor Accommodation Code
The proposal complies with the Overall and Performance outcomes of the Code and is unlikely to
significantly conflict with nearby land uses, with no rural activity occurring on land in the immediate
area and the use being well separated from neighbouring houses. While the proposal does not
comply with AO2.3, which seeks that short term accommodation in the rural zone has a minimum
area of 4 hectares. Therefore, the proposal is assessed against corresponding Performance
Outcome PO2 as detailed below.
PO2
Development is located on a site with an area sufficient to accommodate the use without detracting
from the character and amenity of the local area.
The privacy and amenity of nearby properties will not be adversely impacted by the proposal given
the separation distances to neighbouring dwellings and existing vegetation providing a visual
screen. The use is also confined to the existing dwelling and landscaped surrounds and guest
numbers will be limited to 8 persons. Limiting the guest numbers to a maximum of 8 persons will
assist in managing guest behaviour and conduct. A condition is also recommended to limit the use
of the dwelling’s outdoor areas after 9pm.
Sufficient on site car parking and manoeuvring is also provided on site for the use within the existing
garage and driveway, with vehicles able to enter and leave the site in a forward gear.
The proposal is considered to comply with Performance outcome PO2.
