“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



             •   the business activities are located and designed to provide a safe and secure environment
                 for patrons and employees (OO(i)).

         The proposed café and bar meets the purpose of the Business Uses Code in that it will be
         developed within the context of the Tourist Accommodation Zone, the locality and character of
         the area. The use will not undermine the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy and provides access to
         adequate levels of goods and services and will contribute positively to the Shire’s economy and
         employment in association with the Resort Complex. The proposed development will mitigate and
         manage potential adverse impacts. Further, the development is of a high quality design which
         appropriately responds to the local character and amenity. The proposed café and bar is ancillary
         to the Resort Complex and is consistent with the Business Uses Code.

         Recreation Activities Code
         The proposed development includes three new tennis courts that will be operated as part of the
         Resort Complex. The proposed tennis courts will also operate independently as is currently the
         case for the existing four tennis courts within the Noosa Spring Golf and Spa Resort.

         The most relevant overall outcomes under the Recreation Activities Code, are discussed below:
            • the 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
               (OO(a));
            • the recreation activities are located in proximity to their population catchment and
               operated in a manner that maximises community benefit (OO(b));
            • the recreation activities are designed and sited in a manner that responds to the zone and
               locality, the streetscape characteristics and surrounding land uses (OO(c));
            • the recreation activities are integrated and co-located with other recreation, community,
               or business activities (OO(d));
            • the recreation activities are of a type, scale, and intensity suitable for the location and
               consistent with the character of surrounding development and the local area (OO(e));
            • the 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 (OO(f));
            • the recreation activities can be managed to not cause negative impacts such as noise,
               privacy, lighting, and hours of operation and are well removed residential activities
               (OO(g)); and
            • the recreation activities are located and designed to provide a safe and secure
               environment for recreation users (OO(h)).

         The proposed tennis courts are consistent with the intent and character of the zone and local area
         in which they are located. Further, will contribute to the recreation needs of the Noosa Shire
         community and will mitigate and manage any potential adverse impacts. The proposed tennis
         courts are consistent with the Recreation Activities Code.
