GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 17 JANUARY 2022


2.    SITE DETAILS
2.1   Background
MCU20/0143 & OPW20/0230 - On 19 February 2021, Council issued a Development Approval for
a Material Change of Use to establish a Dual Occupancy and associated Operational Works.
The subject development application was lodged on 25 August 2021 and Council issued an
Information Request on 17 September 2021. The applicant responded on 15 November 2021.
Council requested the applicant to provide some analysis around the ratio of permanent residences
and short term uses within the neighbourhood. A summary of the applicant’s response is provided
below.
“The site is surrounded by a number of different zonings, with majority of the Short-Term
Accommodation uses being concentrated within existing unit developments, as well as some within
the Low Density Residential zone along Nairana Rest.
We note that Short-Term Accommodation uses exist on 6 of the 23 (26%) residential properties on
Angler Street. Of the 62 residential sites (including 6 Angler Street - the development site) within a
150m radius, 46 sites are for permanent accommodation uses (74.2%). Particularly when
considering the development site and its surrounds, it can be seen in the analysis provided that
Medium Density Residential zoned land is not overrun by Short-Term Accommodation. The
proposal offers diversity in the housing market and can accommodate short-term accommodation
or permanent residential living within an appropriate low density built form (not mass resort /
apartment type accommodation). The proposal is considered to comply where the Medium Density
Residential zoned land (after the development is established) still predominantly accommodates
permanent residential accommodation.”
2.2   Surrounding Land Uses
The subject site is located in a residential area, comprised of a mix of dwelling houses, dual
occupancies and multiple dwellings. The site is within the Medium Density Residential zone and is
adjoined by a dual occupancy to the north and residential dwelling to the south and east.
3.    ASSESSMENT
3.1    Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:

with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
