         Recreation Activities Code
The purpose and overall outcomes for the Recreation Activities Code are listed in Section 9.3.12.2 of the
Planning Scheme. Those that specifically relate to the development are outlined as follows:
The purpose of the Recreation Activities Code is to ensure recreation activities:

    •    Recreation Activities:
             o are consistent with the intent and character of the zone and local area in which they are located;
             o contribute to the recreation needs of the Noosa Shire community; and
             o mitigate and manage potential adverse impacts associated with recreation activities on
                  nearby sensitive land uses.

    •    Recreation activities are located in a zone and on a site suitable for the use with adequate supporting
         infrastructure, services, transport and road network connectivity.

    •    Recreation activities are located in proximity to their population catchment and operated in a manner that
         maximises community benefit.
    •    Where practicable, recreation activities are integrated and co-located with other recreation, community, or
         business activities.
    •    Recreation activities are of a type, scale and intensity suitable to the character of surrounding development and
         the local area.
    •    Recreation uses are low scale and low impact and do not negatively impact on the quality of life enjoyed by the
         Noosa Shire community, and do not involve a motor sport facility.
    •    Recreation activities manage potential negative impacts such as noise, privacy, lighting and hours of operation
         on adjacent residential activities.
    •    Recreation activities are located and designed to provide a safe and secure environment for recreation users.


Comment

The proposed development is consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of the Recreation Activities
Code in delivering a development outcome on a site suitable for its intended purpose. The proposed gym will
be operating within a building suitable to accommodate the use with adequate infrastructure including a range
of on and offsite parking options and public transport services. The proposed gym has been co-located with
an established health and wellbeing service provider which provides opportunities for shared parking and
access arrangements on the site together with shared patronage.
