            accommodation situated at 428 Cootharaba Rd Cootharaba Qld 4565 and:
            A. Refuse the application for the following reasons
                1. The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.6 (Tourism) of the Strategic
                   Framework as:
                     a. It does not provide for high quality nature-based and rural tourism
                         experiences.
                     b. Short-term accommodation is not an ancillary rural industry which
                         supports production, investment, and diversification.
                2. The proposal is not consistent with 3.3.3 (Housing Choice) of the Strategic
                   Framework as:
                     a. It does not protect the rural neighbourhood from short term visitor
                         accommodation that would impact on the amenity enjoyed by
                         residents.
                3. The proposal does not comply with the Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                   (2)(i) of the Rural Zone Code as
                     a. it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and
                         activities that are compatible with existing and future rural uses and
                         activities.
                     b. it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and
                         activities that are compatible with the character and environmental
                         features of the zone.
                     c. the visitor accommodation in its proposed form does not complement
                         rural uses or promote the sustainable use of rural land.
                4. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent
                   with Performance Outcome PO4 of the Rural Zone Code as it not
                   compatible with rural activities and will detract from the rural amenity of
                   adjoining properties.
                5. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent
                   with Performance Outcome PO25 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as
                   it will result in an unreasonable loss of residential amenity because of a
                   likely increase in noise to adjoining properties.
                6. The proposal does not comply with the Purpose and Overall Outcomes
                   (2)(a), (b) and (e) of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code as:
                     a. It does not avoid or mitigate the potential adverse impacts of bushfire
                         on people and property.
