Lighting Report

Executive Summary
Noosa Council outlined a number of concerns regarding lighting and illuminated signage at the proposed development site
referred to as Cooroy Highway Service Station in a RFI document MCU16/0066.

Rubidium Light has been commissioned to investigate and design an effective lighting plan taking into consideration the
RFI from Noosa Council, relevant Australian Standards and Fuel Retailer’s lighting requirements.

General Lighting
After careful design Rubidium has supplied a lighting plan able to satisfy all major fuel retailer’s requirements and AS1158
Lighting for Public Spaces (Cat 11a) while also showing compliance with AS4282 Control of the Obtrusive Effects of
Outdoor Lighting (Pre-curfew 11pm Commercial Boundary)
We have also been able to demonstrate compliance with Curfewed (after 11pm) Commercial Boundary with min offset of
10m with included dimming the 2 Northern post top luminaires only.

Signage
Illuminated signage should be designed to be not brighter than 300cd/m2 once installed. This will meet Noosa Council
requirements for illuminated signage.

Illuminated signage is critical to the successful night time operation of a fuel retailer and ensures the business appears to
be operating.
The appearance of “open for business” is part of the design of this project due to the site location on a major highway and
its capacity as a rest stop. Rest stops on major highways are critical to the ongoing safety of all road users.
