3.        COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
A sign audit was conducted by Council on Tuesday 17th April 2018. Council found the current signage on site
varied somewhat from the original approval. This was communicated as follows:
Non-Compliant with The Noosa Plan due to the following:
     1) Total sign face area - of all signs was measured at 38.474m². The negotiated Decision notice
        (MCU16/0084 & OPW16/0157), states under condition 9 that the development must comply with the
        acceptable solutions of the Advertising Devices Code. This means that you can have up to a
        maximum of 10m² of total sign face area.
     2) Illuminated signage - The negotiated Decision notice (MCU16/0084 & OPW16/0157), states under
        condition 9 that the development must comply with the acceptable solutions of the Advertising
        Devices Code. This means that you can have 1 illuminated sign. Council counted 3 illuminated
        signs. These were: The Pylon sign, the Night Owl sign above the entrance door and the Shell sign
        on forecourt canopy facia.
     3) Pylon Sign - The negotiated Decision notice (MCU16/0084 & OPW16/0157), states under
        condition 9 that the development must comply with the acceptable solutions of the Advertising
        Devices Code. The Pylon sign does not meet the acceptable solutions for the following reasons:

          •   The Pylon sign should be situated at half its height from the site boundary. Pylon sign is 5m in
              height and therefore should be 2.5m in from the boundary line.
          •   The pylon sign is illuminated. This is one of 3 illuminated signage concerns for this site.
          •   The pylon sign width has a maximum thickness not exceeding 75mm per metre above ground
              level. The pylon sign is 5m in height and therefore should be .375mm in thickness. Council
              measured .404mm
          •   The Pylon sign total sign face area is allowed to be up to a maximum of 4m² per side. Council
              measured the sign face area for the pylon sign at 9.856m² per side.

     4) Illuminated forecourt canopy facia – The approved plans (10/01/2017) for MCU16/0084 shows in
        document DA04 that the forecourt canopy facia is non-illuminated. Council can confirm that the
        forecourt canopy facia is illuminated. See the attachment for photos of the illuminated signs &
        forecourt canopy facia.
Non-compliant with Subordinate Local Law 1, Schedule 10, Installation of advertising devices due to the
following:
     1) A frame sign and Flags being displayed at the same time. Requirements under Subordinate Local
        Law 1, Schedule 10, Installation of advertising devices, are that you are allowed to display either 1 A
        frame sign only or 1 flag sign only but not both at the same time.
To be able to meet signage requirements under the Noosa Plan, Subordinate Local Law 1 and Subordinate
Local Law 4 (Local Government controlled areas, facilities and roads), you are required to do the following:
     1) Turn off the lighting on the forecourt facia striping.
     2) Turn off the lighting on the pylon sign or the Night Owl sign above the door entrance.
     3) Submit an application for the pylon sign.
     4) Consider how you might reduce the total amount of signage currently erected for your business.
