 Noosa Shire Planning Scheme
 Part 9 Development codes
 9.3 Use codes
 9.3.13 Rural Activities Code

     Application
     This code applies to acceptable development which is subject to requirements and to assessable development identified as
     requiring assessment against the Rural Activities code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)    The purpose of the Rural Activities code is to ensure that a range of rural activities are established and operated in a
            sustainable manner which:
            (a)   conserves the productive characteristics of rural land;
            (b)   protects environmental and landscape values; and
            (c)   protects the amenity of surrounding premises.
     (2)    The overall outcomes sought for Rural Activities are:
            (a)   Rural activities contribute to the economic strength of the Noosa hinterland and create opportunities for
                  employment.
            (b)   Animal husbandry and cropping contribute to the heritage values of the Shire.
            (c)   Innovative and sustainable agricultural enterprises are particularly promoted and encouraged.
            (d)   Rural activities directly and indirectly support the local production of food and beverage products.
            (e)   Development maintains and enhances rural landscapes and ecologically important areas.
            (f)   Development is managed to protect land and water resources to avoid diminished productivity.
            (g)   Rural activities are located and operated to protect and maintain water quality values of surface and
                  groundwater.
            (h)   Rural activities are separated from sensitive land uses which might be adversely affected by the activity.

     FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
     The requirements for acceptable development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted
     development that complies with all the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development
     complies with some, but not all, acceptable outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the
     application will be assessed against the relevant Performance Outcome(s).

     FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
     Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
     outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
     considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
