        Moved:           Cr Wegener
        Seconded:        Cr Wilkie
        That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
        Committee Meeting dated 7 September 2020 regarding Application No. MCU17/0002.02
        & OPW17/0035.02 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for Material Change
        of Use - Short-term accommodation, situated at 14 Ann Street, Noosaville 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 permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent
                    resident amenity.
             2.     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:
                    a.    The proposal is located in medium density residential neighbourhood
                          that is predominately used for short term accommodation uses. The
                          introduction of additional short term accommodation within a duplex is
                          not consistent with the purpose of the zone.
                    b.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor
                          accommodation facility within a recently approved dual occupancy and
                          is not located within a well-established resort or holiday units.
             3.     The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                    (2)(t) and Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code
                    as:
                    a.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in
                          detrimental impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
                    b.    While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it
                          does not seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within
                          the area to the detriment of permanent residents.
             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:
                    a.    The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and
                          integrated with permanent residents in the area given the number and
                          density of properties currently being used for visitor accommodation
                          and/or permitted for visitor accommodation.
                    b.    The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the
                          amenity enjoyed by residents.
             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.
        For:        Crs Stockwell, Wegener and Wilkie
        Against:    Crs Stewart, Finzel and Lorentson
                                                    Carried on the casting vote of the Chair.
