Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is not consistent with Strategic Intent and Outcomes for the Shire as increased visitor accommodation is not sought or needed for the area and visitor accommodation will further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident amenity. 2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.3.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (j) of the High Density Residential Zone Code as: a. The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility within residential dwellings, and not located within a well-established resort or holiday units. b. There are a number of sites advertised as being available for visitor accommodation in the immediate neighbourhood and zoned high density residential. 3. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2) (v)(iii) and Performance Outcomes PO2 of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as: a. The extent of visitor accommodation has started to erode the available supply of permanent housing in the local plan area. b. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent residents. 4. The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2) (e) & (f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as: a. The proposed short term accommodation will not integrate well into the area given the extent of visitor accommodation in the area. b. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area. 5. The proposal does not comply with Performance outcome PO3 (a) and (b) of the High Density Residential zone code as there is the potential to overlook the private open space of neighbouring properties from all balconies and unreasonably impact on the amenity of those residents. 6. There is no need for additional Short term accommodation in the area. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident amenity. 2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as: a. The proposal is located in a medium density residential neighbourhood that is predominately used for short term accommodation. The introduction of additional short term accommodation within a duplex unit is not consistent with the zone’s outcome to maintain the area as predominantly home to permanent residents. b.

The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as: a. The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and integrated with permanent residents in the area given the number and density of properties currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or permitted for use as visitor accommodation. b. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed by residents nearby and in the surrounding area. 5. The proposal does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12 of the Visitor Accommodation Code and Performance Outcome PO6 of the Driveway and Parking Code as insufficient car parking is proposed on site to address the likely parking demands on site. 6. There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area. B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 7 December 2021 regarding application RAL21/0007 for a Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot – 1 lot in 12 lots, situated at 111 Lake Weyba Drive Noosaville and: A. Refuse the application for the following reasons: 1. The proposed development does not comply with Assessment Benchmark 3 of the State Planning Policy (Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience) as it does not satisfactorily mitigate the bushfire risks to people and property to an acceptable or tolerable level. 2. The proposed development does not demonstrate compliance with Overall Outcomes 13.30.2 a), b) and c) and Specific Outcomes O4, O10, O13, O17, O19, O20 and O24 of the Natural Hazard Overlay Code as it compromises the safety of people and property from the site’s residual flood and bushfire risks. 3. The proposed lots are located on land that is categorised as having a high potential for Bushfire Intensity and the proposed bushfire measures are not satisfactory and inappropriately burden QPWS and the future owner of lot 12 to maintain a significant portion of the proposed fire buffers. 4. The proposed development will compromise the safety of people, as: a. there is no effective evacuation route that remains passible, with sufficient flood warning time, to enable people to progressively evacuate to a safe area b. the proposed area for residents to shelter in place is not satisfactory given the lots will be isolated for a significant period. c. there is no warning system proposed for residents to decide whether to evacuate before the road becomes impassable or shelter in place. 5. The proposed extent of fill and retaining walls will result in a poor visual outcome. 6. The proposed development is likely to further burden disaster management response and capacity during flood events. 7. The proposed reconfiguration and bushfire and flood mitigation strategies do not comply with the Noosa Plan 2020. B.
