This is, yeah, unit five, seven, Peza Court appeal on 15th of June, 2023. They apply for an application for short stay letting. Part of the criteria they had to meet is either a have a development approval which they haven't got, b accept development on the Noosa Plan 2020 which it was not, or c novel existing use rights which they believe they had. During the application process um they were given information as to supply um existing use rights to show that they had before 2026 to show that they had commenced short sale letting and up until the time of application this went backward forwards for quite some time until 15th January 2025 um trying to help them seek their existing use rights they failed to produce those documents so the application couldn't be assessed so the application elapsed on the um Friday 5th of March 2026 officers undertook a um audit of Peza Court and the surrounding area and noticed that there was a sign outside of unit 5-7 Peza Court on further investigation found advertising um on the uh internet for short stay accommodation a compliance notice was raised on the 1st of April com 260110 was issued to immediately stop their activity and or apply for an application um for short stay letting um that decision to stop was um then sent to a review decision again, I reviewed the evidence of that uh unit operating without short-stay letting approval um and no application um I upheld that decision um on the 15th of may I filed a response to affirm the decision um with a compliance notice 12th of June the appeal was lodged with planning environmental court so I see Council's agreement to defend that appeal.
