Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Wall Sign in excess
           of 4m2 signface area which is inconsistent with:
           i.     Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
                  a.   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;
                  b.   The proposed advertising devices is not designed and integrated into the
                       built form so as to minimise visual clutter;
                  c.   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
                  d.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are not located in Noosa Shire.
           ii.    Specific Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
                  a.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are inconsistent with the
                       overall outcomes sought by this Code and are not located in Noosa Shire;
                  b.   The proposed sign is not compatible with the existing and future planned
                       character of the locality in which it is situated;
                  c.   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
                  d.   The proposed sign is not of a scale, proportion and form that is
                       appropriate to the streetscape in which it is located.
           iii.   Probable Solutions of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
                  a.   Advertising devices do not include signs with a signface area exceeding
                       the Acceptable Solutions of this Code or 4m², whichever is the lessor; and
                  a.   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.
B.   With regard to the other existing Window Sign advise the applicant to:
     1.    Make the Window Sign compliant with the Advertising Devices Code’s Acceptable
           Solutions; or
     2.    Remove the Window Sign; or
     3.    Lodge a development application seeking approval for the Window Sign.
