        The Cockleshell 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 an area that it is not predominantly home to
                         permanent residents, with many properties being used for visitor
                         accommodation and/or properties permitted under historical
                         development approvals for visitor accommodation.
                    b.   The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor
                         accommodation facility within 2 recently approved dual occupancies
                         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.
