    In line with the above assessment against statutory planning controls it is considered that the proposed signage
    is appropriate for the subject tenancy and local zoning considering the commercial streetscape where the
    tenancy is located within the Visitor Mixed Use Zone. The tenancy is not considered to contain any fabric that
    will be unduly affected by the proposed works. The rebranding of the existing facade is seen to be a positive and
    reversible addition to the building, which is currently established in a commercial precinct. The proposed works
    to the site will not have an effect on neighbouring buildings which may contain significant facades.

    It is seen that the alterations to the established tenancy are in the interest of continued investment in the area
    and the sustainable use of buildings within the established commercial precinct. The minor changes and
    additions to the signage do not detract from the building and assist the tenancy in its branding as a commercial
    outlet. In line with the Planning Scheme objectives, the proposal contributes to the vibrancy, investment and
    high quality design of the area while balancing the mix of commercial interests.

8.0 CONCLUSION

    The proposed works are seen to comply with the local planning controls as they has been developed to
    complement the architectural design of the building. The addition of the proposed signage helps to identify the
    premises as a commercial outlet which services the local area and is seen as a positive addition. The design is
    sympathetic to the significance of the local area as it proposes simplistic materials which will not compromise
    any existing fabric.

    The signage design is of a high quality and is compatible with signage on neighbouring commercial buildings.
    Ultimately the proposal complies with the intent and design objectives of local planning controls and represents
    ongoing investment in the area. For these reasons it is seen that the proposal should receive full development
    consent.
