    proposal specifically involves the installation of five (5)new illuminated signs on the subject site
    comprising 3 x Freestanding signs, 1 x Below Awning Sign and                             1   x   Wall   Sign. It is also
    proposed to reclad and update an existing directional sign within the site.

    A summary of the proposed signs is provided below.


    (a) Two (2)freestanding signs are to carry the Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa branding and
          directional information. The proposed signs are to have a maximum height of approximately
          2.84m and a width of approximately O.675m. It is proposed to locate one free standing sign

          beside the pedestrian walkway adjacent to the porte cochere to the Sheraton and the other

          sign is to be located within the site frontage adjacent to Hastings Street. The proposed
          freestanding signs will replace the existing Sheraton freestanding signs in                               the    same

          location.

    (b) One     (1) freestanding sign            is to   provide    for ’Gato’s Restaurant’           branding     and    menu

          information. The proposed sign is to have a maximum height of approximately 2.06m and a
          width of O.550m and is to be placed adjacent to the existing restaurant tenancy on Hastings

          Street. This sign is intended to replace four (4)existing free standing signs associated with
                                                                                                                                  I

          Gato’s Restaurant.

    (c) The integrated below awning sign and wall sign is to identify and define the main entry to
          Gato’s Restaurant. These signs are to be slotted in between                        proposed recycled timber
          screen   slats/blades and attached to the awning structure associated with the soon to be
          refurbished restaurant entry.

    The    signs will     be     designed       and   constructed    using high quality          materials and         finishes.

    Specifically, the signs will           be constructed from        a   range of materials           including. fabricated
    aluminium      panels, stainless steel, recycled timber columns/slats, decorative side cladding to
    conceal the structure of the signs, 2 pac paint and acrylic backing enabling branding and logo
    information to be laser cut through the sign face.

    For further detail          on   the   proposed signs, please         refer to the detailed         proposal plans          in

    Appendix A of this report.

    Approval of the application will enable a rationalisation and reduction in the number of free
    standing signs on the subject site, particularly along the Hastings Street frontage of the site. The
    proposed new signs are contemporary in their design and present as an integrated ’sign family’,
    notwithstanding they             are   providing for   two     businesses    being     the       Sheraton      and    Gato’s
    Restaurant.

    It is also proposed to demolish six (6)existing free standing signs currently located on the site,

    five (5)of which are currently located within the Hastings Street frontage of the site and relate

    specifically to the Sheraton and Gato’s Restaurant. Refer to Appendix B for photographs of
    existing signs to be demolished.
