It is noted that a number of the concerns are either not relevant, are not a result of the proposed development, or are pre-existing concerns. The applicant’s response to these concerns is listed below. Further, short-term rentals are often unoccupied and thus the amount of perceived traffic and noise would be much less than that of multiple families permanently residing in a duplex, for example.

and permanent accommodation, however, does not prohibit it but
recognises the importance of tourism in the Shire.
The proposal is located near key areas of the Noosa River foreshore
precinct and the District centre where a mix of visitors and
permanent reside. This proposal complements the surrounding
development and is not imposing any new type of built form or use.
• The proposed Short-term Accommodation has no greater impact
on traffic compared to permanent residents residing in the existing
duplex.

occupied by permanent residents.

complies with the Driveways and Parking Code.
• It is expected that guests would not have more than 2 cars which is
the same as a permanent resident. If interstate or from overseas, it
is possible they have no car or a single hire car.

occupied by permanent residents.

In summary, the majority of the concerns raised by the submissions against the development are either:
• Are not a result of the proposed Short-term Accommodation, or
• Are an existing issue for which the proposed Short-term Accommodation has not bearing upon.
It is recommended Council support the proposed Short-term Accommodation use as:
• The proposed Short-term Accommodation has a lessor impact on traffic compared to permanent
residents residing in the existing unit.
• The dwelling has sufficient car parking being the double car garage and the driveway. The proposal
complies with the Driveways and Parking Code.
• The property will be professionally managed by a local agent who can directly deal with any
perceived issues if they occur.
• The target guest for this property is families.
• Council’s ratified Local Law comes into effect in February 2022 which regulates the operational of
short stay letting. The Local Law will ensure the use will not impact on any surrounding permanent
residents. In addition, given the historical use of Noosaville for visitors, the established amenity will
not be negatively affected.
