               Light Pollution
               Acceptable Outcome AO27.2 of the Community Activities Code states:
                      For a lit sports court,
                           a) the court is located at least 60 metres form the external wall of an existing or approved
                              residential dwelling on adjoining or nearby premises (as measured form the centre
                              line of the court);

                           b) and the vertical illumination resulting from the direct, reflected or other incidental light
                              emanating from the site does not exceed 9 lux when measured at any point 1.5
                              metres outside the boundary and at any level from ground level upward; and any
                              flood lighting is restricted to the types that give no upward component of light where
                              mounted horizontally (i.e. a full cut off luminaire).
               Performance Outcome PO27 of the Community Activities Code seeks ancillary outdoor recreation
               uses do not have an adverse impact on the amenity enjoyed by users of adjacent or nearby
               residential uses.
               A site visit undertaken by Council allowed for a further analysis of the proximity of the courts to the
               neighbouring dwelling house. Figure 6 demonstrates the centre of the basketball court is
               approximately 35 metres from the nearest wall of the nearest dwelling. Upon visiting the site, it was
               considered that there is adequate vegetation between the neighbouring houses and the basketball
               courts. The vegetation was of a mature nature and provided a physical buffer between the courts
               and dwelling houses and will mitigate any light pollution that will affect the amenity of the Low
               Density Residential Zone.
