            That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning &
            Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 March 2022 regarding MCU19/0089.02
            and OPW19/0160.02 to make a minor change to an existing approval for Material
            Change of Use - Retail Business - Type 2 Shop & Salon, Retail Business - Type 5
            Vehicle Uses and Operational Works – Signage situated at 52-54 Mary St
            Noosaville and:
            A.   Refuse the change for the following reasons:
                 1.    The proposed change does not constitute a minor change to the
                       development approval as the change in hours will increase the severity
                       of known amenity impacts and likely attract further submissions
                       objecting to the change were the application to be publicly notified
                       given the site’s proximity to residential properties.
                 2.    The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcomes 2
                       (d) & (h) and Performance Outcome PO11 & PO24 of the Business
                       Activities Code as the proposed hours will adversely impact on nearby
                       resident’s amenity.
                 3.    The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcome 2(m)
                       and Performance Outcome PO42 of the District Centre Zone Code as
                       the proposed change in hours will impact the amenity of nearby
                       residential premises as nearby residents would not reasonably expect
                       the service to be operational at this time.
                 4.    The proposed illuminated signage does not comply with Specific
                       Outcome AO7 and Overall Outcome O7 of the Advertising Devices
                       Code within the Noosa Plan 2006 as it proposes more than one
                       illuminated sign and is not compatible with the visual amenity of the
                       surrounding area.
                 5.    The proposed additional illuminated signage is not consistent with
                       provisions of the Local Law signage requirements as the proposal
                       exceeds the maximum number of signs permitted to be illuminated and
                       is prohibited by the Local Law.
            B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
                 Act 2016.
            C.   Request the CEO to convene a Councillor workshop for Councillors, to allow
                 the review and further discussion regarding the signage laws and associated
                 policies.
            D.   Request the CEO to, if necessary, provide a report to a future Council
                 meeting outlining any changes, updates or improvements to signage laws
                 and policies, as may be proposed at the Councillor workshop.
