Alternative Solutions justifying the outcome and compliance with the overall outcomes of the Code
detailed below.

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.

 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.

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.
