(2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Recreation and Open Space zone are as follows:-
      (a) Development provides for the open space, recreation, leisure and sporting needs of the Noosa Shire Community;

           enjoyment of residents and visitors;
      (c) Development does not impact on the function and use of open space for passive and active recreation, leisure and community activities;
      (d) Development is of a scale and intensity appropriate to the location, existing infrastructure, access and provision of public transport;
      (e) Development provides opportunities for the community to improve their physical and mental wellbeing, have social interaction and participate in active and
           passive recreation;
      (f) Open space is protected from the intrusion of incompatible uses that may compromise or conflict with the primary use of the zone for low intensity recreation
           activities;
      (g) Development is low scale and low impact and does not negatively impact on the supply, quality or enjoyment of open space for the Noosa Shire community;
      (h) Clubhouses are considered where co-location with other clubs is not viable and the facility supports the ongoing use of the land for recreation purposes;
      (i)  Small scale function facilities are developed only in conjunction with, and incidental to, a community or recreation use on the site;
      (j)  Major sport, recreation and entertainment facilities only develop where there is a demonstrated community recreation benefit, the site is suitable and the
           associated impacts can be managed, and where it does not include a motor sport facility;
      (k) Existing land used for tourist parks remain part of the range of low cost, low impact visitor accommodation across Noosa Shire;
