 6.8.1.1 Application
 This code applies to:­
 (a)    assessable development on land within the Community Facilities zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within
        Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
 (b)    acceptable development subject to requirements and assessable development identified as requiring assessment against
        the Community Facilities zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

 6.8.1.2 Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)    The purpose of the Community Facilities zone is to provide for community­related uses, activities and facilities, whether
        publicly or privately owned, including for example:
        (a)   educational establishments;
        (b)   hospitals;
        (c)   transport and telecommunication networks; and
        (d)   utility installations.
 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Community Facilities zone are as follows:
        (a)   The Community Facilities zone primarily accommodates a variety of community related activities and infrastructure,
              as well as certain special residential and recreation uses to meet the current and future needs of the community.
        (b)   Development provides for the continued use of community land for the specific purpose annotated on the zone map,
              and where the use is no longer meeting a community need, is replaced with another community related activity.
        (c)   Development for community activities provides opportunities for growth in artistic, cultural, social and community
              services and facilities in Noosa Shire.
        (d)   Development provides for both privately owned and publicly owned activities, facilities and services.
        (e)   A range of community activities such as cemeteries, childcare centres, clubs (where in conjunction with a
              community use), community care centres, community uses, crematoriums, educational establishments, emergency
              services, funeral parlours, healthcare services, hospitals and places of worship are accommodated in the zone.
        (f)   Community activities are located to optimise their accessibility, operational efficiency and benefit to the community.
        (g)   Development for health related uses consolidate on the existing Noosa hospital site and healthcare services sites in
              Goodchap Street, Noosaville and Maple Street, Cooroy where possible.
        (h)   Development at the Noosa Business Centre includes the provision for a site for a sub­regional transit facility that
              functions as an integrated public transport node, with pedestrian and bicycle paths linking with nearby urban areas.
        (i)   Existing and approved residential care and retirement facilities continue to operate and new facilities are
              accommodated where there is local demand.
        (j)   Short­term accommodation develops only in conjunction with an educational establishment or hospital on the same
              site.
        (k)   Infrastructure activities such as transport depots, utility installations, telecommunications, substations, major
              electricity infrastructure and parking stations develop where there is a community need and at a level of provision
              commensurate with the service demands generated by the use.
        (l)   Limited small scale business uses such as food and drink outlets, shops and periodic markets are ancillary to, and
              occur in conjunction with, a community use on the same site, and do not compromise the Noosa Shire Centres
              Hierarchy.
        (m)   Entertainment uses are limited to a theatre and are conducted in conjunction with a community use.
        (n)   Development does not limit the ongoing operation and expansion of an existing community facility or prejudice the
              establishment of a new facility.
