Attention: Planning Assessment


Dear Sir/Madam,

RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST
OTHER CHANGE APPLICATION TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL MCU16/0138.03 (DUPLEX
DWELLING) FOR SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION OVER LOTS 1 AND 0 ON SP308427 AND
LOCATED AT UNIT 1/113 GYMPIE TERRACE, NOOSAVILLE: MCU16/0138.03

I refer to the above application and the information request issued by your Council and dated 11th June
2021. This request listed 4 items that Council considers is necessary in order to complete its assessment of
the above application.

The applicant provides the following response:

Item 1: Provide the number of guests that the premises will be accommodating for.

Applicant’s Response to Item 1: The applicant indicates that up to 6 people will be able to be
accommodated in the three bedroom unit.


Item 2: Provide a set of house rules explaining how the outdoor entertainment area will be limited to
preserve amenity.

Applicant’s Response to Item 2: This item can be appropriately included as a condition of approval. It
is noted that Council has approved short term accommodation uses with conditions limiting the use of
the outdoor areas after 9pm each night. The applicant is willing to agree to a condition in this regard.


Item 3: Provide additional justification as to how the proposed development will not impact the
residential neighbourhood predominantly remaining as homes to permanent residents.

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: The area detailed in the information request as being a
neighbourhood is considered inappropriate as it defines a very narrow geographical area based on
nearby road and waterways and excludes areas that contain local services such as shops which area
located further to the east and west of the site.

The applicant is seeking approval for a use that is consistent in the zone and will not impact on the
amenity of the area.
