MCU14/0056 Information Response Cover Letter

Item 13 -

Provide comment on the likely location and type of signage to be sought external to the site on State controlled roads (e.g.
Bruce Highway).
Response:

The location of on-site signage is shown within Site Plan 14004- DA02 ver F and DA 09 at Attachment A. Two pylon
signs are proposed. One at the Myall St frontage and one facing the Bruce Highway. Both signs are well separated
from the nearest residential properties in Ferrels Rd, are discrete in nature and are designed consistent with the
rural character of the development. A separate application for highway signage (Road Corridor Permit) will be
lodged with Transport and Main Roads. This would be in line with DTMR guidelines so as not to be obtrusive or
hazardous to road users. The purpose of that signage is to provide advance notice to highway users of the services
to be provided at the centre including tourist information and rest area. The service centre is well located between
two significantly smaller service stations and will provide a multipurpose stop on the left in the southbound
direction offering a variety of uses in the one location.
