A Development Permit for Operational Works for Advertising Devices (Signage) was approved by
Council on 28 February 2013 (OPW13/0100). The approval granted permission to replace
existing signage throughout multiple tenancies onsite in addition to a new pylon sign to replace 4
smaller pylon signs used as menu boards along Hastings Street and a new under awning sign to
the entry of Catos Bar. Both new signs related to entertainment and dining uses established on
the site.

to the replacement of three existing directional signs along the site’s eastern side boundary as
indicated in Figure 5 below.
