4.3 Medium Density Residential Zone Code
Performance Outcome O6 describes Short Term Accommodation and is reproduced below:

   PO6 Visitor accommodation is limited to formats compatible with the character and use of the area so as
   not to cause unreasonable loss of residential amenity, having regard to:

       a) the privacy of residents on the subject property or adjoining properties;
       b) any likely increase in noise to adjoining properties;
       c) the scale of the use and its compatibility with the character and uses within the property or
          surrounding area;
       d) retention of the primary residential function of an area;
       e) the residential function and arrangement of common property;
       f) the impact on the safety and efficiency of the local road network;
       g) the impact of waste storage areas on the visual amenity of the area or sensitive land uses;
       h) the location of the waste storage in relation to sensitive land uses; and
       i) any impact on shared vehicular access or parking.

The site is surrounded by existing two storey units and beach front dwelling houses of which many
are let for visitor accommodation. This part of Sunrise Beach is a well-known holiday destination and
has a general mix of permanent and visitor accommodation given its ideal location near the beach,
and close to all services. The proposed use adds to character of Sunrise Beach and is compatible
and consistent with uses in the area. The dwelling is not proposed to be a party house and stringent
management will control the short-term use to ensure the privacy of permanent residents in the
surrounding area.

The dwellings design ensures privacy between neighbours as the main living and outdoor dining
areas orientate to the north overlooking the beach, away from the adjoining uses. It is also noted
that the adjoining units to the east have a masonry wall for the full length of their western elevation.
The subject layout has only bedrooms along this elevation except for the lounge and a part of the
balcony to the Tingira Cr side of the subject dwelling. This wall significantly reduces any potential
impacts of any noise that may emanate from the dwelling. Figure 5 below shows the neighbouring
blank wall from the street and from the subject balcony on the second image.
