 (b) The pylon sign is approximately the same overall height as the canopy and building on site. This
     relationship is consistent with nearby similar uses, including the service station/shop operation opposite
     on Eumundi Noosa Road, as shown in Figure 8 below. Other small freestanding signs on site are minor
     in scale and are intended to provide for safe, efficient operation of the site by identifying services, and
     pump numbers etc. This is similar to signage seen on the service station on Eumundi -Noosa road, and
     on service stations generally. As such, their presence should be expected for such a land use and is
     not likely to be inconsistent with community’s expectations for the area.
 (c) The pylon sign is similar in scale to other freestanding signage in the area, and other buildings.
     Although most buildings are only 1 storey in height, they are often bulky, industrial buildings with
     orthogonal from akin to a pylon sign.
 (d) The pylon sign does not contribute to visual clutter as it is well-separated from other freestanding
     signage. The sign is the only significant freestanding sign on the site, and is separated from others on
     adjoining sites at an interval consistent with the existing streetscape. Generally, freestanding signs
     achieve a separation of 30-40m laterally along the road alignment, and the pylon sign on site maintains
     this pattern. The route does not currently comprise scenic vistas as it is industrial / commercial in
     nature.
 (e) The pylon sign does not detract from the architectural design and landscape in that it is high-quality
     construction, using contemporary features and supports systems such that it is consistent with the
     industrial area. It does not undermine the viability of landscaping on site which assists to soften its
     visual impact, particularly at the pedestrian scale.
