    3.0       BACKGROUND

    3.1       Previous development approvals I applications

    The   subject site       has been the focus of several                     previous development applications                     and

    approvals, including           the          original   hotel   development   and various alterations,               shop     fit out

    activities, landscaping and some engineering upgrades.

    It is proposed to undertake some further minor refurbishments to aspects of the Sheraton and
    Cato’s Restaurant         tenancy. The proposed refurbishment will involve improvements to the
    lounge bar, restaurant entry (Cato’s)and the Sheraton porte cochere and resort fa ade finishes.
    By correspondence dated 23 November 2012, Council deemed the proposed refurbishments to
    be ’generally in accordance’ with the relevant development .approval.

    Part of the overall refurbishment strategy for the Sheraton and Cato’s Restaurant tenancy

    includes modernising and rationalising existing on site signage, as the existing signage is not

    considered to integrate with or complement the proposed refurbishment works. In considering
    whether     the    proposed               refurbishment        was   ’generally   in   accordance’ with             the    relevant

    development approval, Council advised that the signage aspects required separate approval.
    As such, this application seeks approval of associated                            signage to complement the existing
    approved    uses and      proposed refurbishment.

    3.2       Pre-lodgement discussions
    No pre-lodgement discussions have been undertaken in relation to the proposed signage.
