Change App - MCU17.0076 - Planning Report

7.   Conclusion

The proposed Change Application on land at Unit 1 / 25 Edward Street, Noosaville 4566 QLD has
been assessed against the requirements of the Local and State Statutory Planning Requirements.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2020, and the proposed development can be supported
on a number of grounds, including:

       • The development application has been made in accordance with the requirements of both
           the Planning Act 2016 and the Development Assessment Rules 2017;

       • The strategic framework and outcomes identify the importance of tourism in Noosa Shire
           and are supportive of ensuring amenity of both visitors and permanent residents are
           maintained.

       • The proposal will contribute to the established amenity of the Medium Density residential
           zone throughout Noosaville - as the proposal is only seeking the same user rights afforded
           to many Dual Occupancy’s and Multiple dwellings located in close proximity to the subject
           site.

Specifically, the proposal complies with the Strategic framework sections 3.2.1,3.2.2, 3.3.1 and 3.3.3
because:

       • It is proposing accommodation for tourists near the Noosa River and key tourist destination
           of Gympie Terrace without negatively impacting on the natural environment;

       • Is providing an alternate accommodation type to that of a resort or a large unit complex;

       • Integrates with the surrounding residential uses, given the historical use of the Medium
           Density Residential zone for short term accommodation under the superseded planning
           schemes (prior to 2006), while the Noosa Plan 2020 does not preclude short term
           accommodation in the subject zone;

       • Dual Occupancy and Multiple dwellings are in close proximity to the site which have
           existing use rights for short-term accommodation;

       • The built form is similar to the existing developments in the surrounding area; and

       • The use does not place additional load on infrastructure or services.

The proposal complies with the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:

       • The use employs of wide range of local people to maintain, service and administer the
           short-term accommodation;

       • The premises is providing short term accommodation in Noosaville which contributes to
           visitor accommodation in the river side residential area;

       • The proposal being in close proximity to shopping and the river foreshore supports the role
           of Noosaville to accommodate the needs of visitors to the area;
