5.1 PROPOSED USE

Under the Noosa Plan 2020, the proposed development is defined as:

   Dwelling house means a residential use of premises involving—

       1. one dwelling for a single household and any domestic outbuildings associated with the
          dwelling; or
       2. one dwelling for a single household, a secondary dwelling and any domestic outbuildings
          associated with either dwelling.

   Rural workers’ accommodation means the use of premises as accommodation, whether
   or not self-contained, for employees of a rural use, if—

       1. the premises, and the premises where the rural use is carried out, are owned by the
          same person; and
       2. the employees are not non-resident workers.

Comment: The proposal is considered to be in accordance with the above definitions. Both the
dwelling house and rural workers’ accommodation are needed to support the productive rural capacity
of the land and foster the agricultural productivity of the land.
