                                                      reducing the impacts of the proposed land use on the
                                                      surrounding properties.

                                                      It is also noted that Council is currently working on a
                                                      new Local Law to assist in managing short term
                                                      accommodation in the Shire. In this regard it is
                                                      recommended that an Advisory Note be included
                                                      detailing that approval may be required under a Local
                                                      Law for the continued use of short term
                                                      accommodation in the future.

 Other
 Diminution of property values                        Impact on property values is not a matter which can
                                                      be considered.

 Outdoor living areas are not private, the area       There is no requirement for outdoor areas to be
 is visible to passers-by.                            screened from public view.

 Difficulty accessing copies of the notification      The application was satisfactorily conducted with
 material                                             relevant documents being available on Council’s
                                                      website.

 The residents should be the primary person in        There is no requirement for short term
 residence for at least 6 months per year             accommodation to be the owner’s principal place of
                                                      residence unless they seek to limit the short term
                                                      accommodation use to those elements required under
                                                      the Accepted Development’ provisions.


5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use a dwelling unit for the purpose of short term accommodation. The
dwelling unit forms part of a duplex and is located adjacent to the intersection of Hill Street and
Pacific Avenue. The key issue associated with the assessment of the application is the potential
for detrimental impacts on the amenity of the surrounding residential properties. Whilst
acknowledging that short term accommodation has the potential to impact on the amenity of the
area the proposed use has been identified as a consistent use within the applicable zone and an
extensive suite of conditions are recommended to address the operation of the use to preserve the
amenity of the area.
