b. Short-term accommodation is not an ancillary rural industry which supports production, investment, and diversification.
2. The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.6 (Tourism) of the Strategic Framework as:
a. It does not provide for high quality nature-based and rural tourism experiences.
b. Short-term accommodation is not an ancillary rural industry which supports production, investment, and diversification.
3. The proposal is not consistent with 3.3.3 (Housing Choice) of the Strategic Framework as:
a. It does not protect the rural neighbourhood from short term visitor accommodation that would impact on the amenity enjoyed by residents.
4. The proposal does not comply with the Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(i) of the Rural Zone Code as
a. it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and activities that are compatible with existing and future rural uses and activities.
b. it does not provide for rural uses and/or activities or other uses and activities that are compatible with the character and environmental features of the zone.
c. the visitor accommodation in its proposed form does not complement rural uses or promote the sustainable use of rural land.
5. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Overall Outcome (2)(j) and Performance Outcome PO4 of the Rural Zone Code as it not compatible with rural activities and will detract from the rural amenity of adjoining properties.
6. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Performance Outcome PO8 of the Rural Zone Code as the proposed location of the dwelling within 200m of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area, is not sufficiently setback to mitigate risks associated with the use of chemicals or air pollutants and/or avoid conflict with current or future rural uses and activities on adjoining properties.
7. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Overall Outcome (2)(g) and Performance Outcome PO1 and PO2 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
a. The site is within 250 metres of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area which is intended for intensive animal industry, intensive horticulture or rural industry uses.
b. The site is within 100 metres of mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area which is intended for agricultural operations.
c. It will impact on the ability of rural landowners to carry out agricultural pursuits.

8. The use of the premises for Short Term Accommodation is not consistent with Performance Outcome PO25 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as it will result in an unreasonable loss of residential amenity because of a likely increase in noise to adjoining properties.
9. The use is inconsistent with the Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 - Keep Noosa Home item 7.7: Ensure that short-term accommodation in the hinterland is complementary to housing on site and not at the expense of housing. Whole-house short term rentals should be limited to infrequent letting of the owner’s principal-place of residence.
10. The use is inconsistent with the Noosa Council Short Term Accommodation Monitoring Report November 2022 as:
a. Short-term accommodation, without a permanent resident remaining on site, compromises future housing supply for permanent residents.
b. Short-term accommodation of an entire dwelling house compromises adequate long term housing stock being available to meet the diverse needs of Noosa Shire’s current and future residents, consistent with Noosa Council’s adopted Housing Strategy 2022.
c. Short-term accommodation does not reinforce the purpose and outcomes to be achieved by development within the Rural zone for rural pursuits, particularly agricultural uses and complementary value-added uses and housing for permanent residents.

A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development is not consistent with condition no. 53 of Development Permit to Reconfigure a Lot (1 lot into 23 lots) RAL18/0023 as the proposal does not include the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive.
2. The proposal is not consistent with the Strategic Intent and Strategic Outcomes 3.3.1(o), and 3.3.5 (s)(i) (D) of the Noosa Plan 2020 as the proposal fails to incorporate the 10m wide landscaping required to Hofmann Drive to achieve the parklike, vegetated setting envisaged for the centre which is synonymous with the Noosa style.
3. The proposal is not consistent with acceptable and performance outcomes AO5, PO5, AO7.4, PO7 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code a:
a. The development does not retain or propose to enhance the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive which is important to contribute and create the character sought for the Noosa Business Centre.
4. The proposal is not consistent with the overall outcome (3)(f) and (4) acceptable and performance outcomes AO32.4, AO32.5, AO32.6, PO32 and PO33 of the Major Centre Zone as:
a. Reducing the width of the landscaped garden beds required to Hofmann Drive, particularly where this approach is continued for the remainder of the lots with frontage to Hofmann Drive, will compromise and impact the ability to achieve a centre which is overall recognisable as having a Noosa style.
b. The proposal does not retain, incorporate, or enhance the existing vegetation within the required 10m wide landscaped garden bed to Hofmann Drive, which is important to enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape character of the Noosa Business Centre.
c. The proposal disrupts the landscaped streetscape treatment required to Hofmann Drive intended to enhance the amenity and contribute positively to the centre’s character.
d. The proposed use is an inconsistent use in the Major Centre Zone Code – Business Park Precinct will not deliver the commercial and employment uses intended for the Precinct such as health and wellbeing, education, research and technology and knowledge-based industries.
e. The bio retention basin at the front of the site is located within the required setback area and in front of the proposed carparking area which results in the development being more visible to the road and not located in a park like setting.

FURTHER REPORT - MCU21/0110 - APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE - RESORT COMPLEX AND ANCILLARY BAR, FOOD AND DRINK OUTLET, OUTDOOR SPORT AND RECREATION, AND CLUB (MINOR EXTENSION TO EXISTING CLUBHOUSE) AT 61 NOOSA SPRINGS DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Finzel provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter: I, Cr Finzel, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter as I have come to understand that JFP Urban Consultants on behalf of Altum Property Group, who are the Developers of Park Ridge Noosa Springs, made a submission against the Noosa Springs Hotel Development. Since then, the matter has changed give Altum Property Group has withdrawn the submission. Leigh McCready, who is associated with Altum, was involved as a volunteer with my 2020 election campaign with Future Noosa which is no longer an entity. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not have a close personal relationship with Leigh & Rob McCready. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
6.1. YUROL RINGTAIL CONSERVATION PROJECT That Council A.

Council to work alongside DAF to explore further opportunities to actively support SharkSmart educational programs, and alternative bite mitigation trials where appropriate. C. Note Council’s other shark management responsibilities including; 1. Marine animal stranding response, noting this role requires resourcing for equipment, materials and staff training and the use of contractors to enable Council to effectively respond to stranding events; and 2. Consideration of signage investigation relating to dangerous marine animal warnings across Council managed canal systems only (Noosa Waters). 6.3. 2024-2025 FEES AND CHARGES That Council note the report by the Manager Financial Services to the General Meeting dated 17 June 2024 and pursuant to sections 97, 98 and 262(3)(c) of the Local Government Act 2009, for the 2024-25 financial year the cost-recovery fees and commercial charges provided as Attachment 1 to the report. 6.4.

Leigh McCready has recently been elected as the president of this club. Mr Rob McCready sits in a decision-making capacity on the Peregian Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Sub-Committee. Mr McCready is married to Leigh McCready who worked as a volunteer on the 2020 Future Noosa Election Campaign which is no longer an entity. Mr & Mrs McCready are not related parties, nor are they close associates and therefore I do not believe this COI satisfies the requirements the act as I do not stand to gain a benefit or loss in relation to the matter that is no greater than the benefit or loss of a significant proportion of persons in the local government area stand to gain or lose. However, in the public interest and full transparency I will declare this interest as I believe I am able to make an impartial decision on the matter.

Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I and my parents are no longer involved in any capacity in the Cooroy Gymnastics Club. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
6.9. 2024-2025 COMMUNITY PROGRAM FUNDING - COMMUNITY PROJECT GRANTS (ROUND ONE) - EVENTS In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Wegener provided the following declaration to the meeting of a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter: I, Cr Wegener, inform the meeting that I have a prescribed conflict of interest in this matter in relation to the funding recommendation to NOOSA International Surfilm Festival.
