ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                     20 NOVEMBER 2014


          The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance
          with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia
          (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to
          the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they
          relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the
          proposed building work:
          •     the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
          •     the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
          •     the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
          •     The applicant is advised that the development works for this permit may require
                payment of a compliance bond (to be determined in Operational Works Permit)
                in accordance with Council’s policies. The payment of the bonds will be
                required prior the prestart meeting for the Operation Works.
          •     The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
                must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where one is required
                for the 'Building and Construction Industry'. This applies to Building Works,
                Operational Works and Plumbing and Drainage Works applications, as defined
                under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, where the works are $80,000 or more
                and matching the definition of 'Building and Construction Industry' under the
                Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991.
                Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that
                the Levy has been paid. Should you require clarification in regard to the
                amendments to the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service
                Leave) Act 1991, you should contact QLeave on 1800 803 481 (free call) or
                (07) 3212 6855
     B.   Refuse the Operational Works application OPW12/0276 for the following reasons:
          1.    The proposal represents excessive signage for a single business that will result
                in unnecessary visual clutter and adversely impact on the visual amenity of the
                area.
          2.    The signage is incompatible with the developed character of Noosaville and is
                contrary to the Advertising Devices Code.
          3.    The application proposes signage identified as inconsistent advertising devices
                within the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan.

     C.   Request the applicant to remove all excess signage and ensure all signage complies
          with the acceptable solutions of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan. In
          particular, no sign shall exceed a sign face area of 4m2 and total signage shall not
          exceed a combined sign face area of 10m2.
