include Short-term Accommodation

Unit 1/25 Edward Street, Noosaville 4566 Qld

Dear Nadine,

In relation to the abovementioned development application (MCU17/0076.01 & OPW17/0224.01), on behalf of
Hon Lee we hereby submit the following feedback in response to the submissions to the proposed
development.

The following table is a summary of the concerns identified within the submissions against the proposed
Short-term Accommodation. 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.
