    for Operational Works - Signage, situated at Noosa Metro Innovation Park, 1/100 Rene Street,
    Noosaville and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.    The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Wall Sign in excess
               of 4m2 signface area which is inconsistent with:
               i.     Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being
                      that:
                      a.   The proposed advertising device does not complement and detracts
                           from the desirable characteristics of the natural and built environment
                           in which the advertising devices are exhibited;
                      b.   The proposed advertising device is not designed and integrated into
                           the built form so as to minimise visual clutter;
                      c.   The proposed Advertising Device exceeds the legitimate need to
                           provide directions and business identification in a manner that is
                           consistent with achieving the codes overall outcomes; and
                      d.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are not located in Noosa
                           Shire.
               ii.    Specific Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being
                      that:
                      a.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are inconsistent with the
                           overall outcomes sought by this Code and are not located in Noosa
                           Shire;
                      b.   The proposed sign is not compatible with the existing and future
                           planned character of the locality in which it is situated;
                      c.   The proposed sign is not designed, sited and integrated to not
                           contribute to the proliferation of visual clutter and to not unduly
                           dominate the visual landscape; and
                      d.   The proposed sign is not of a scale, proportion and form that is
                           appropriate to the streetscape in which it is located.
               iii.   Probable Solutions of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being
                      that:
                      a.   Advertising devices do not include signs with a signface area
                           exceeding the Acceptable Solutions of this Code or 4m², whichever is
                           the lessor; and
                      b.   General design and amenity complies with the specific requirements
                           for all types of advertising devices, including a Wall Sign, do not exceed
                           a maximum signface area of 4m².
    B.   With regard to the other existing Window Sign advise the applicant to:
         1.    Make the Window Sign compliant with the Advertising Devices Code’s Acceptable
               Solutions; or
         2.    Remove the Window Sign; or
         3.    Lodge a development application seeking approval for the Window Sign.
    C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
