5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposal to intensify the approved Short-term Accommodation use on the site constitutes
‘substantially different development’ under the Development Assessment Rules, as the change will
increase the severity of known impacts of the use, particularly in terms of potential noise and traffic
impacts, and as such the application does not constitute a ‘minor change’.
The proposal conflicts with Noosa Plan’s Rural Zone Code and Visitor Accommodation Code, as
the increase in the number of guests accommodated on site from 8 to 16, and subsequently
resulting in up to 16 vehicles attending the site, is not considered ‘small scale’, is not of a scale
compatible with the character and uses within the surrounding area and is inconsistent with the
rural setting and amenity expected in Noosa’s rural locations.
