The specific Purpose and Overall Outcomes are reproduced below:

       (1) The purpose of the Visitor Accommodation code is to ensure visitor accommodation is appropriately
       located, designed and operated in a manner which meets visitor needs, protects and enhances
       landscape values, protects the amenity of surrounding premises and avoids conflicts with surrounding

                (a) Visitor accommodation is compatible with and benefits from Noosa Shire’s natural
                environmental values.
                (b) Visitor accommodation offers a wide range of experiences for guests both in coastal areas
                and in the hinterland.
                (c) Visitor accommodation is located and designed in a manner which sensitively responds to

                fabric of its particular locality.
                (f) Visitor accommodation located near permanent residents does not detract from the amenity
                enjoyed by residents.

                agricultural pursuits.

                (j) Visitor accommodation provides for a wide range of visitors.

The site is located within an area consisting of short-term accommodation and is more than 100m
from any educational or childcare centres, and is not considered to conflict with nearby land uses
but is complementary and consistent with the character of this area of Sunrise Beach. Sufficient
carparking is also provided to accommodate 4 cars, provided in the form of a double garage and
tandem parking accessed from Sobraon Street.

The dwelling also includes high end finishes with dining, kitchen and laundry facilities to
