7.5.8   DEO h) Sport and Recreation Uses:


This OEO relates to the creation of sport and recreation opportunities, strongly
relating to the outdoors, are established to facilitate social interaction,
healthy lifestyles and appreciation and protection of Noosa’s natural,
cultural and community assets including:              -




                         i.      the subtropical climate


                         ii.     the beaches, watercourses and foreshores;


                         iii.    the national parks and bushland;


                         iv.     the iconic mountains and landforms;


                         v.      cultural traditions, and


                         vi.     sporting fields and facilities

Town Planning Comments:


        (a)      It is our understanding that the previous use of Lot 94 as a lawn
bowls club ceased about 3 years ago and has remained abandoned since
then.            ceasing it was financially supported by the Pine Rivers
           Prior to it
Memorial Bowls Club, and had been financially unviable for a considerable
period of time.

        (b)      It is expected that there would be very limited recreational uses
that could activity operate on lot 94 because:


                     .   the tendency is for many recreational              pursuits to take
                         place east of the David Low Way along the Coast;

                     .
                         Peregian has a constrained population base as well as
                         an ageing population;

                     .   There   are no     schools at Peregian Beach, and          as   such
                         youth   recreational facilities     are   likely   to be   pursued
                         outside of Peregian Beach, with the exception of surfing
                         activities and the local skateboard venue ; and


                     .   The    nearby tennis complex          sporting oval offer
                                                              and
                         facilities for the most obvious of community recreational
                         pursuits.
