               Internal Road and Building Setbacks

                Performance Outcome                                 Acceptable Outcome
                PO18                                         AO18.1
                Buildings and structures are appropriately   Buildings and roofed structures are set back
                sited so as to:                              at least:
                      (a) maintain the open space character        (a) 20 metres from street frontages;
                            and amenity of the site;               (b) 4.5 metres from internal roads;
                      (b) provide amenity for users of the         (c) 3 metres from another
                            premises as well as preserve the            building on the same site;
                            visual and acoustic amenity of         (d) 10 metres from the boundary of
                            adjoining and nearby properties;            land in a residential zone or the
                      (c) provide adequate separation from              Rural residential zone, except for
                            adjoining land uses;                        a Major Sport, recreation and
                      (d) allow for landscaping and the                 entertainment facility where there
                            retention of existing trees;                is a 50 metre setback;
                      (e) help protect the natural character       (e)  4.5 metres from property
                            and visual amenity of the Noosa             boundaries   not otherwise
                            River system and other                      specified
                                watercourses.

               The existing gymnasium and clubhouse buildings are currently attached and are historically non-
               compliant with the Acceptable outcome of the zone. The proposal maintains a zero setback to the
               adjoining lot to the south, with the gymnasium attached to the new clubhouse building, however it
               is noted that the adjoining lot (Lot 204 MCH976) forms part of the Cooroy Sports Complex.
               Notwithstanding this non-compliance with the acceptable outcome, the proposal achieves the
               performance outcome and has been designed to be responsive to the open space character and
               amenity of the site. The building’s location is unlikely to create an adverse impact on visual and
               acoustic amenity of adjoining and nearby properties, given the separation distance and use
               proposed. The development retains all existing trees, and proposes landscaping to further soften
               the appearance of the buildings.
               Bicycle Spaces
               Performance Outcome PO27 of the Recreation and Open Space Zone Code requires publicly
               accessible facilities including bicycle racks to be located and designed to allow casual surveillance
               by other persons. The Driveways and Parking Code also specifies minimum required bicycle
               spaces and recreation activities are required to have:
                       (a)    one space per 50m² up to 500m²; and
                       (b)    one space per 500m² in excess of 500m²
               The development will result in an additional gross floor area of 1645m2 and theoretically, will require
               13 bicycle spaces. The development does not propose any bicycle space, however, given the
               proposed use and central location, a condition will be included requiring a minimum of 13 bicycle
               spaces be provided to service the proposal.
               3.3.4     Use Code
               The proposed uses are subject to the Recreation Activities Code. The proposed uses are
               consistent with the outcomes of the code being consistent with the zoning intent and have been
               designed to avoid significant impacts on the amenity of the area. The development proposes
               upgrade works to the existing recreation facility that will contribute ongoing to the recreation needs
               of the Noosa Shire community and are in accordance with the previously endorsed Cooroy Sports
               Complex Master Plan 2020 - 2030. To ensure the acoustic privacy on the neighbouring sensitive
