Desired Environmental Outcomes
k)    TOURISM
      A tourism industry is developed and sustained by—
      iii.   focussing on the coastal localities of Noosa Heads, Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and
             Peregian Beach,
      iv.    offering visitors a range of experiences and accommodation types;
      xi.    retaining a range of visitor accommodation choices including camping grounds,
             caravan parks, backpacker hostels, hotels, motels, resorts, B&Bs, guesthouses and
             serviced apartments;
      xii.   avoiding mixing long-term accommodation for residents with short-term
             accommodation for visitors, to avoid potential conflicts and the erosion of visitor
             accommodation;
