                  of the zone for low intensity recreation activities;
           (g)    Development is low scale and low impact and does not negatively impact on the supply, quality or enjoyment of open
                  space for the Noosa Shire community;

                  on the site;

                  benefit, the site is suitable and the associated impacts can be managed, and where it does not include a motor sport
                  facility;
           (k)    Existing land used for tourist parks remain part of the range of low cost, low impact tourist accommodation across
