  CONCLUSION

  The proposed visitor accommodation use for Makepeace Island is to be located within the existing
  development footprint, with no increase in in the number of persons able to be accommodated.
  The applicant has provided sufficient information about the operational issues associated with the
  development, which are considered to satisfactorily manage the associated impacts.
  On balance, the proposed change of use is considered logical and reasonable in the context of the
  current holiday letting, with the site impacts able to be appropriately managed and potential
  environmental impacts mitigated. There will be no adverse impacts upon the environment and
  appropriate noise conditions are recommended to ensure the residential amenity of neighbouring
  dwellings along Tait Street and Cambridge Court are not compromised. To ensure future
  intensification of the use is limited and natural values protected, appropriate conditions are
  recommended relating to the use of the site.
  Despite the inconsistency with the Open Space Conservation zoning, the following grounds of
  approval are recommended:
          o  The visitor accommodation use is low key in its scale and provides a unique tourism
             experience, which contributes to the North Shore Locality and Noosa generally.
          o  The proposed use is able to be accommodated within the existing building footprint and
             does not involve any additional site works.
          o  Potential site impacts can be appropriately managed so as not to cause a nuisance to
             nearby residential properties along Tait Street and Cambridge Court, Tewantin.
