‘Submission re MCU 21/0054 — 30 Kingfisher Drive Peregian Beach

| am a resident of Peregian Beach and am concerned about the increasing number of
‘dwellings offering short-term accommodation in our locality

This application is to change the use of the property from residential to short-term letting
‘accommodation (STA). The dwelling has 5 bedrooms, a balcony and two parking spaces.

object to the application. My reasons are outlined below:

41. The proposal is contrary to the Noosa Plan,
a. Coastal Communities Local Pian, PO2 which states: Development contributes to
the lifestyle and amenity of residents and visitors in the coastal communities.
This proposal wil impact on residential amenity

iL Noise: Despite the application stating no large groups can stay, five
bedrooms allows 10 adults to stay — and ten people can and usually do
make a lot of noise,

ii. Parking: It can only accommodate 2 cars on site so the other 3 or more
will seek to park on the surrounding streets, in particular Pelican St and
Kingfisher Drive. These streets already have significant parking problems
= given they are so close tothe vilage centre.

». Coastal Communities Local Pian states: PO15 - Visitor accommodation is not be
located in areas which are predominantly permanent residential dwellings.
©. The Strategic Framework at 3.2.4 states:

i. ‘Conversely, neighbourhoods of permanent residents are protected trom
inftuxes of short-term visitors whose interests and priorities are not
compatible with residential amenity. Party houses are restricted from
establishing in Noosa Shire"; and

ii. At3.3.3 (n) Neighbourhoods of permanent housing are protected from
‘short term visitor accommodation that would impact on the amenity
<enjoyed by residents

2. Another home being tumed over to the STA market - itis hollowing out our community
with serious consequences for any sense of "community" - no care, no responsibilty
and no connection

3. There is no need for more short-term accommodation in Peregian Beach. Another 20
dwellings have been approved for visitors at 215 David Low Way. The real need in
Peregian Beach is low to medium priced long-term rental accommodation. Local
businesses are finding it dificult to recruit staff as there is no reasonably priced
accommodation available for long-term rent.

     

Noosa Council has a strong track record of sticking to the Noosa plan and they should so
in relation to this application.
