             Committee Recommendation
             Moved:    Cr Clare Stewart
             Seconded: Cr Brian Stockwell
             That Council note the report by the Senior Development Planner to the Planning
             and Environment Meeting dated 7 November 2023 regarding Application No.
             MCU22/0209.01 to make a minor change to an existing approval for a
             Development Permit for a Material Change of Use – Short-Term Accommodation
             situated at 515 Cooroy Noosa Rd, Tinbeerwah and:
             A. Refuse the minor change application for the following reasons:
                 1. The proposed change does not constitute a minor change to the
                     development approval as the increase in the number of people on site
                     constitutes ‘substantially different development’, as the change will
                     increase the severity of known impacts, including noise and carparking.
                 2. The proposed development is inconsistent with the Overall Outcomes
                     (2)(i) and (j) and PO4 of the Rural Zone Code as accommodating 16
                     people and up to 16 vehicles on site is not considered ‘small scale’ in the
                     context of the subject site, locality and surrounding development and will
                     likely impact on the rural amenity and character of the area.
                 3. The proposed development is inconsistent with Overall Outcome (2)(f)
                     and PO25 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as the use of the premises
                     to accommodate 16 persons will unreasonably impact on the residential
                     amenity of the surrounding area due to the likely increase in noise to
                     adjoining properties and the scale of the use being incompatible with the
                     character and uses within the surrounding area.
             B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
             Act 2016.
             Carried unanimously.
