4.2. General Decision Requirements [Section 3.3.1]
The relevant General Decision Requirements of this part are as follows.
“(a) (iv) The Purpose of the Zone.
(v) The Specific Decision Requirements of the Zone,
Overlay or Specific Provision.
(vii) Any Representation made in accordance with Section
43F(5) or Section 57(5) of the Act”.
Reference to these principles is contained in the discussion below.
4.3. Recreation Zone
The purpose of the Recreation zone is to recognise land that may be utilised
for recreation and to provide for uses which support this or which may be
interim uses that will not prejudice future recreational activities.
There are no Use and Development Standards that are applicable to the
proposal, the only relevance being a requirement to assess any proposal in
accordance with the Specific Decision Requirements for the zone.
The relevant Specific Decision Requirements for the proposed additions and
alterations are as follows.
“(b) Development should be compatible with the recreation uses”.
The proposal is for additions and alterations to a recreational club and as such
is consistent with the zone.
“(g) Development should maintain existing significant views from
the surrounding area”.
The proposed additions are to the east of the existing building where there are
no residences likely to be impacted. The water tanks to be installed to the
west are unlikely to impact on views from the dwellings behind due to their
being located in the low point and the dune in front and dwellings behind
being at a higher elevation to enable maintenance of views over the top.
