                  Issue – Extent of signage
                  The proposed signage significantly exceeds provisions for advertising devices under The
                  Noosa Plan. Signs in excess of the 4m2 limit for a single sign face area are proposed.
                  Total signage is estimated at 37m2 but the application does not detail total signage area or
                  provide justification for the substantial relaxation sought.
                  The Advertising Devices Code lists the 4m2 single sign face area and 10m2 total sign face
                  area as outcomes. The extent of signage proposed is unlikely to be supported.
                  Information Required
                  10        Provide amended plans demonstrating compliance with the provisions of the
                            Advertising Devices Code and/or detailing and further justifying the extent of any
                            relaxations sought.


                  Issue – Illuminated Signage
                  Numerous large illuminated lights are proposed, which may impact on the rural amenity of
                  the area. The illuminated lights are proposed to remain on throughout the night whereas
                  The Noosa Plan seeks a limit to 11pm.
                  Information Required
                  11        Amend the proposal to limit the number of illuminated signs to one per commercial
                            tenancy and demonstrate spill light from illuminated signage will not impact on the
                            rural amenity of the area.


                  Issue – Spill Light
                  The 24hr mixed use development has the potential to create night time light spillage that
                  could impact on the amenity of nearby.
                  Information Required
                  12        Demonstrate light spillage from the development can achieve the design and siting
                            requirements of Table 2.1 & 2.2 of Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “Control of the
                            obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting” and will not impact on the night time amenity of
                            nearby residents. Provide a report prepared by a suitably qualified person
                            describing the lighting plan and appropriate control/direction/shading measures to
                            be employed so lights are not directed at residential areas.
                            For the purpose of certifying outdoor lighting devices for the development, a suitably
                            qualified person is either:
                            i.         a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland; or
                            ii.        an environmental or electrical design consultant with a minimum of 3 years
                                       current experience in the field of outdoor lighting.


                  Issue – Fast Food Odour
                  Given the provisions of The Noosa Plan for the site, residents in the area would not
                  reasonably expect fast food outlets to establish in the Nandroya Industrial Estate. Cooking
                  odours from fast food outlets have the potential to impact on the amenity of nearby
                  residents.
