Attached to the e-mail OPW15/0141 Signage Application (Sky Sign) - 1 Arcadia Street Noosa Heads (Suncorp to Westpac).
Our Ref: 15.0054 — 13 August 2015 Development Assessment Toowoomba Regional Council Via email: [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, Development Application for Operational Works for Operational Works for Placing an Advertising Device on Premises at 1 Arcadia Street, Noosa Heads. This correspondence is an application for a Development Permit for Operational Works for Placing an Advertising Device on Premises at the above-mentioned address. The application is for an existing Sky Sign (multi sided) which Council do not have records as to its’ legitimacy. Westpac are intending to replace the existing Suncorp signage with their own branding with non-illuminated signs of comparable sizes. Under Division 12, Table 9.10 of the Noosa Heads Locality Plan the following levels of assessment apply to “Placing an advertising device on premises where not associated with a material change of use”: Exempt if Low impact sign Self-assessable if— a) General sign; or b) Medium impact sign Code assessable if— a) not complying with Column 2 of Table 14-41 of Advertising Devices Code; or b) High impact sign This sign is a high impact sign and is Code Assessable. The exact dimensions of the signage panels are unknown at this stage as the client will be arranging verification on site although they will be comparable to the existing Suncorp signage panels. The sign panel fronting the corner will be lengthened full width to cover the unsightly frame. As assessment of the proposed sign against the Advertising Devices Code is undertaken in the following table.
