PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
This development application seeks a Development Permit for Operational Works for placing additional
Advertising Devices on premises including two general signs (fence signs). General signs are typically
self assessable, however the proposed signs will require code assessment due to some non-
compliances with column 2 of Table 14.41 of the Advertising Devices Code.
The current signage on the site is outlined below:
1. Primary (Pylon) Sign next to front driveway:
a. Storage First Logo with red swoosh 2,640 x 830 = 2.19m2
b. Safe Clean Secure 660 x 635 = 0.42m2
c. Telephone Number 990 x 170 = 0.17m2
Sign face area = 2.78m2
2. Secondary Sign located at the far Eastern Corner:
a. Rectangle sign 2,550 x 1,250 = 3.19m2
Sign face area = 3.19m2
Total Current Signage = 5.97m2
The proposed fence signs comprise two panels of 6.7m x 1.5m, with wording of 5.723m x 1.053m,
having a combined sign face area of 12m 2.
The proposed total combined sign face area for the site will comprise 17.97m2.
Images of the existing and proposed signs are included in Attachment 1.
An assessment of the proposed signage against the applicable Specific Outcomes and Probable
Solutions of the Advertising Devices Code has been included in the Code Assessment in Attachment 2.
Page 3
The proposal complies with all provisions of the Code with the exception of O1, S2.6 and S2.7, with
Alternative Solutions justifying the outcome and compliance with the overall outcomes of the Code
detailed below.
ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS:
Inconsistent Advertising Devices O1; and
General Design and Amenity – S2.6 and S2.7
The proposed fence signs, with individual sign face areas of 6m2 (5.723m x 1.053m) and combined
sign face area of 12m2, exceed the maximum individual sign face area of 4m2 and maximum total
combined sign face area for the site of 10m 2.
The total combined sign face area for all existing and proposed signage will be 17.97m2.
The subject site is located within close proximity to another self storage facility with signage that has
been recently approved (refer OPW14/0276), and is considered a similar scale, size and outcome to
the proposed fence signs.
The site has a frontage of 78m to Rene Street and has a total area of 1.092ha. The scale, proportion
and siting of the proposed signage is consistent with the size of the site, neighbouring development
and the commercial character of the locality. The site has the ability to be subdivided in accordance
with the minimum lot requirements for the Industry Zone in Table 14-68 of the Reconfiguring a Lot
Code, which would facilitate signage of 20m 2 for the existing frontage area. The existing and
proposed signage is spread across the frontage consistent with would be evident if separate lots
existed.
In accordance with the overall outcomes of the Code the proposed signage:
Will not detract from the desirable characteristics of the natural and built environment in which
the advertising devices are exhibited, being the Industry Zone;
is designed, sited and integrated so as not to contribute to the proliferation of visual clutter;
will not detract from the visual amenity of the major road network nor from the rural or residential
amenity enjoyed by residents of and visitors to Noosa; and
will be safely constructed and secured and will not create a hazard.
The proposed signage is therefore consistent with the intent of the Code and considered appropriate
for the sites Industry Zone location and context.
CONCLUSION
The assessment of the proposed signage against Advertising Devices Code indicates that the proposal
achieves compliance with the overall outcome of the Code ad is consistent with a recent nearby
signage outcome approved under OPW14/0276.
Approval of the application is warranted.
Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.
Yours faithfully
