PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                             6 MARCH 2018


Pylon Signs on site
   Freestanding/Pylon tenancy signs x 3 – located on the Mary St, and Gibson Road frontages
     (roundabout and opposite Harvey Norman near delivery docks). The sign on the roundabout appears
     to be partly within the road reserve. However it is difficult to determine if this is indeed the case.
   The structures are just under 5 metres in height.
   Each of the signs have 2 sign faces totalling an approximate sign face area ranging from 11m 2-
     13.15m2.
 It is evident that these signs have been in these locations for in excess of 10 years.

Existing / Illuminated
These signs are existing and are illuminated.




Change/Assessment
(S_1, S_2 & S_3 on signage plan)       (refer Attachment 3)
   There is a slight change to the existing situation, whereby the centre logo is to be replaced.
   A Probable solution of the Advertising Devices Code limits 1 illuminated sign per tenancy.
   Notably, key tenants in the centre also have 3 or more existing illuminated signs pertaining to the
     pylon signs eg. Woolworths, BWS, BOQ, Reject Shop.
   The pylon sign at the southern exit point is setback into the landscaping and has limited visibility, but
     when illuminated, it stands out.
   3 pylon illuminated signs are considered excessive.
   The pylon sign is also ‘V’ shaped and is considered excessive in size.
 It is therefore recommended 2 illuminated (Mary St and Gibson Road roundabout) and 1 not
     illuminated (Gibson Road – southern-eastern exit point) be approved. It is further recommended that
     the pylon signs be of a standard design, with 2 sides and not be ‘V’ shaped.
