The policy leaves open to interpretation the phrase ‘increase the need…to the extent that significant new or improved facilities would be required’. Given that the policy is clearly targeted at major development proposals, rather than requiring interpretation of whether significant new or improved facilities would be required, there is justification for including unit threshold above which a provision for improved built sports facilities would be required.
