 Surrounding land uses

  North   Dwelling houses and units exist along Park Crescent and Crank Street. The majority
          of the units have been constructed prior to The Noosa Plan 2006 and therefore have
          existing use rights for both short term accommodation and permanent residential
          uses. There are also dwelling houses close by in the Medium Density Residential
          zone where short-term accommodation and permanent residential uses are
          consistent uses. The subject site is in close proximity to the Sunshine Beach village
          centre, the Sunshine Beach surf club and a patrolled beach.

  South   On the seaward side of Park Crescent to the south are dwelling houses in Low
          Density Residential zone as shown in Figure 1 above. Given these houses are
          affected by the Natural Resources Overlay for Coastal Protection it is likely the
          dwellings have a planning approval which essentially ‘locks’ in the use rights
          afforded by the superseded planning scheme definition of a Detached House giving
          these dwelling houses the right to be used for both permanent and short-term
          accommodation for the life of the development.

  East    The premises adjoin a walkway directly to the beach and located beyond, a dwelling
          house in the Low Density Residential Zone. This dwelling has a planning approval,
          and as discussed above, can be used for either permanent or short-term
          accommodation.

  West    To the west of the site is High Density Residential zone where short-term
          accommodation and permanent accommodation is a consistent use. The majority
          of the units were constructed prior to The Noosa Plan 2006 and therefore have use
          rights for both permanent and short-term accommodation.
