reasons for refusal
The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Wall Sign in excess of 4m2 signface area which is inconsistent with:
Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
The proposed advertising device does not complement and detracts from the desirable characteristics of the natural and built environment in which the advertising devices are exhibited;
The proposed advertising device is not designed and integrated into the built form so as to minimise visual clutter;
The proposed Advertising Device exceeds the legitimate need to provide directions and business identification in a manner that is consistent with achieving the codes overall outcomes; and
Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are not located in Noosa Shire.
Specific Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are inconsistent with the overall outcomes sought by this Code and are not located in Noosa Shire;
The proposed sign is not compatible with the existing and future planned character of the locality in which it is situated;
The proposed sign is not  designed, sited and integrated to not contribute to the proliferation of visual clutter and to not unduly dominate the visual landscape; and
The proposed sign is not of a scale, proportion and form that is appropriate to the streetscape in which it is located.
Probable Solutions of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
Advertising devices do not include signs with a signface area exceeding the Acceptable Solutions of this Code or 4m², whichever is the lessor; and
General design and amenity complies with the specific requirements for all types of advertising devices, including a Wall Sign, do not exceed a maximum signface area of 4m².
