PM Submission - Alan & Karel Beech - MCU17/002.02

   This is the space where adults congregate especially in the evening to night, partying, conversing
    loudly with the noise level increasing as the time progresses. Loud, raucous, cackling, laughing,
    arguing, fighting, we get it all. Picture 5: Outside dining and pool area. Our neighbours from as
   far away as 300 m they have commented on the noise, thinking it was us.

    2.   Lighting

   There are three (3) spotlights along the wall separating the units plus another three (3) in the
    alfresco area, all are bright white, high intensity and they are directed at us. There is also a blue-
    light insect zapper. Often some or all these outside lights (and inside lights) are left on all night
    requiring that we use block-out wraps to sleep. Picture 6: Pool with 3 spotlights at night.

    3.   Parking

   There is only one on-site car park, either the garage or the paved area. Generally the garage is
    not used, at 2.3 m wide only one side of the vehicle can open its doors. It tends to be used for
    watercraft and scooter/bicycle temporary storage. One vehicle uses the driveway and all others
    use the roadway.    Boats and jet-skis with trailers are common and use the street. Any visitors
    also use the street for parking.

Summary and Recommendation

2/22 Elizabeth Street should not be allowed to operate a Short Stay Operation Business in a
Residential locality. To be clear, this is a business, it seeks to exploit weakness in the Noosa Council
Plan and Zoning Rules and be operated as a Holiday Let Business all year. Council would not approve
of any other type of business operating in this residential location. Even a panel-beater would be
less disturbing. They would operate 5 days a week and only during the day. This Holiday Rental
Business aims for full 365 day/year, 24 hour per day operation in a Residential Zone, negatively
affecting the amenity of Permanent Residents.

2/22 Elizabeth Street was initially constructed and approved as a Residential Property of three (3)
bedrooms, two (2) bathrooms, two (2) car-space, with expected occupancy of four (4) or less. Since
construction it has morphed into a Holiday Rental with four (4) bedrooms, three (3) bathrooms and
one (1) carpark and occupancy rate of nine (9) though we have observed occupancy of eleven (11).

By design the property is unable to contain Noise and Light emissions, rather it's construction with
hard surfaces and no acoustic or light buffering to its neighbours acts to maximise the negative
impacts.

The rental agents Noosa Holiday Rentals are incapable of vetting the number or type of renters, their
mission is to maximise bookings for their and the owners' financial gain. Refer to their website for
future bookings.    Bookings are made on-line through a Byron Bay based entity and no physical
checks are made. Out of hours contact is not provided, the owners reside in Victoria.

This Short Term Holiday Rental in a Residential Zone is not permitted and is detrimental to the
amenity rightfully expected by residents under the Noosa Plan and Zoning Rules and its operation
must cease.
