     That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 9 July 2019 regarding application No.OPW19/0132 for a
     Development Permit for Operational Works (Signage), situated at 143 Eumundi Noosa Road,
     Noosaville and:
     A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
           1.    The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Moving sign which
                 is inconsistent with:
                 i.     The Overall Outcomes of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan,
                        being that:
                        a.   The proposed Advertising Device is not designed and integrated into
                             the built form so as to minimise visual clutter;
                        b.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to adversely impact
                             on the visual amenity of the major road network;
                        c.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to pose a hazard
                             for pedestrians, cyclists or drivers of motor vehicles;
                        d.   The proposed Advertising Device does not accommodate the
                             legitimate need to provide directions and business identification in a
                             manner that is consistent with achieving the overall outcomes of the
                             code; and
                        e.   Moving signs are not located in Noosa Shire.
                 ii.    The Specific Outcomes of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan,
                        being that:
                        a.   Moving signs are inconsistent Advertising Devices and are not located
                             in Noosa Shire;
                        b.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to cause an
                             environmental distraction; create glare, reflection or flaring colours; and
                             create a potential safety hazard, including a traffic safety hazard; and
                        c.   An advertising device does not move or incorporate elements that give
                             the impression of movement.
                 iii.   The Probable Solutions of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan,
                        being that:
                        a.   Illuminated Advertising Devices are limited to 1 sign per tenancy.
     B.    Advise the applicant that Advertising Devices associated with the subject tenancy must
           not exceed a single sign face area of 4m2 and a maximum total sign face area of 10m2.
           In this regard, the applicant may wish to erect a non-illuminated and non-moving Wall
           sign as an alternative to the proposed Advertising Device, in accordance with the
           Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan.
     C.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
                                                                                          Carried.
