Glen,
Further to Council's Information Request and our phone discussions, our client has requested that we provide further information regarding the proposed signage.
Westpac are currently undergoing a national rebranding and branch refit program which results in much higher quality appearance of branches with one initiative also being the relocation of ATMs internal to branches.
The new branding focuses on the "W" as part of the brand and on balance this assists generally in an overall reduction in signage external to branches.
The Digital Screen also assists in this regard by allowing multiple messages to be displayed to customers rather than multiple poster boards being placed inside the branch windows.  An example of the existing content currently displayed on those screens is attached to this response.

The new Noosa Heads Branch is not within a prominent location and one which has a distinct commercial character with no residential or sensitive developments in close proximity.
It is our view that the proposed signage will not negatively detract from the character of the area which is generally consistent with any other non-beachside commercial precinct on the Sunshine Coast.  As previously discussed, our view is that the signage proposed does not compromise the achievement on the intent for the Advertising Devices Code.
This correspondence constitutes our full and final response to the Information Request, please proceed with your assessment of the application.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further queries or wish to discuss the application further.

Regards,


Aaron Sweet
