Development Application

2.

On 11 November 2015, the Appellant made the Development Application to the

Respondent.

The Respondent did not give the Appellant an acknowledgement notice as:

(a) the Development Application related to development that required code

assessment only; and

(b) there were no referral agencies.

The Respondent did not ask the Appellant, by written request, to give further

information needed to assess the Development Application.

On 15 January 2016, the Respondent gave a decision notice to the Appellant

refusing the Development Application on the following basis:

"1 The application proposes signs in excess of 4m? sign face area and total
signage area on the premise in excess of 10m’, which are inconsistent with
the Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan's Advertising Devices Code;

2 The proposal represents excessive signage for a single business that will
result in unnecessary visual clutter and dominate the streetscape.

3 The signage is incompatible with the existing and preferred streetscape
character and is contrary to the Advertising Devices Code."

Grounds of the appeal

JUM783ERXR

The Development Application is not inconsistent with the overall outcomes of the
Noosa Plan's Advertising Devices Code for the reasons specified in paragraphs 7
and 8 of this Notice of Appeal.

The Development Application does not represent excessive signage for a single

business that will result in unnecessary visual clutter and dominate the

streetscape, as:

(a) the advertising devices complement and do not detract from the
desirable characteristics of the natural and built environment in which the
advertising devices are to be exhibited, having regard to the nature of the
locality, the size of the Land and the length of its frontage to Rene Street;

(b) the advertising devices are designed and integrated so as to minimise
visual clutter;
(c) the advertising devices will not detract from the visual amenity of the

major road network nor from the rural or residential amenity enjoyed by
