               3.3.2     Local Area Plan Code
               The subject site is located in the Cooroy Local Plan Area and the proposal is subject to the Cooroy
               Local Plan Code.

                                       Figure 19 – Extract of the Cooroy Local Plan Map (Map ZM-10 – Cooroy)

               The Cooroy local plan area recognises that this sports complex is a valued element of the town
               and seeks to retain this sporting facility to meet the needs of the community.
               The proposed upgrade and expansion to the sports complex will retain this existing sporting facility,
               while enhancing the lifestyle and amenity of residents of Cooroy and the surrounding hinterland
               with an upgraded building. The proposed changes are consistent with local area plan area code
               requirements being reflective of the country town character, incorporating lightweight materials,
               pitched roofs, wide overhangs, verandas, and a building design that suitably responds to the local
               subtropical climate. Additionally, the proposal is consistent with the Cooroy Sports Complex Master
               Plan 2020-2030, which was endorsed by Council at the Ordinary Meeting of 16 January 2020
               following public consultation and drafting.
               The proposal will not impact upon the heritage significance of the site (refer to comments below)
               and will not result in the removal of any trees or significant vegetation. The proposal proposes
               replacement landscaping around the new extended building to ensure it remains compatible with
               the vegetative character of the local plan area and suitably integrates with the site.
               3.3.3     Zoning Code
               The site is zoned Recreation & Open Space and is therefore subject to the Recreation & Open
               Space Zone Code. The proposal is generally consistent with the outcomes sought for this zone,
               with the extension to the gymnastics club and expansion of the clubhouse building supporting the
               ongoing use of the land for sport and recreation purposes.
               The proposed expansions are of a scale and intensity consistent with the needs of the community,
               with the proposed expansion appropriately staged. The proposed building design and finishes
               display a high-quality built form consistent with the built form requirements of the code.
               The table below provides a summary of the proposal’s compliance with the code’s built form
               Acceptable Outcomes.
