PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                            6 MARCH 2018


   No measurements have been provided with respect to the new sign on the western wall. The length
     of the wall is 14.5 metres long and the current sign is 1.2 metres wide. The new sign appears to be
     extend about ¾ of the way along the wall. It appears the new sign area will be approximately 13m 2.
     The proposed size is considered excessive and dominates the western wall. It is reasonable to
     request that this sign be reduced in size. Therefore it is recommended that this sign be conditioned to
     be no larger than 10m 2. This size is consistent with the existing Woolworths and BWS sign combined.
     It is also suggested to increase the area of the feature paint on the western wall to break up this
     façade.
   The proposed sign appears to project above the roof line. This is not supported and the proposal will
     be conditioned accordingly.
   There are 3 illuminated wall signs proposed for the Woolworths tenancy. Although it is acknowledged
     these signs have existed for some time, the 3 illuminated signs is considered excessive. It is
     considered reasonable to allow for 1 Woolworths wall sign to be illuminated and for there to be a
     maximum 1 Woolworths wall sign.
   The BWS sign/logo is not currently illuminated on the western wall and the proposal intends for it to
     be. It is considered reasonable to allow for 1 BWS sign to be illuminated on site. Presently the under
     awning sign is illuminated. The applicant can determine where this is to be most suitable and this will
     be conditioned accordingly.
 The Reject Shop sign is not proposed to be illuminated and will remain as it is currently.
 Tenancy signs on the southern wall will be removed.
   The Post Office and Café under awning signs (southern corner of western wall) and ATM sign will
     remain. The total sign face area is approximately 3.3m 2.

     entry statement to the southern entry point to the site.
   The sign face area is proposed to be illuminated.
