        Motion
        Moved:             Cr Wilkie
        Seconded:          Cr Wegener
        That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
        Committee Meeting dated 10 August 2021 regarding Application No. MCU21/0054 for a
        Development Permit for Material Change of Use at 30 Kingfisher Drive, Peregian Beach,
        and:
        A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
              1.    The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of
                    the community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as
                    it will further erode the dwelling units available for permanent housing in the
                    area, impacting permanent resident amenity.
              2.    The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome
                    (2)(o), and z(ii) and Performance Outcomes PO1, PO2, PO13 and PO15 of
                    the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as:
                    i.     The extent of visitor accommodation has eroded the available supply
                           of permanent housing in the local plan area.
                    ii.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in
                           detrimental impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of
                           permanent residents.
                    iii.   The proposal is not for multi-unit accommodation as intended for sites
                           in close proximity to the Peregian Beach Local Centre.
              3.    The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (2)(a) and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
                    i.     The proposal will contribute to the proliferation of visitor
                           accommodation in the area and will further impact on the medium
                           density residential neighbourhood being maintained as predominantly
                           home to permanent residents.
                    ii.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor
                           accommodation facility within a detached house, and is not located
                           within a well-established resort or holiday units.
              4.    The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (1) and (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
                    i.     The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the
                           amenity enjoyed by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations
                           for the area.
              5.    There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
        B.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
              2016.

                                                                                             Lost.
