         Equitable Access and Facilities
         The plans for the proposed building work have NOT been assessed for compliance
         with the requirements of the National Construction Code - Building Code of Australia
         (Volume 1) as they relate to people with disabilities. Your attention is also directed to
         the fact that in addition to the requirements of the National Construction Code as they
         relate to people with disabilities, one or more of the following may impact on the
         proposed building work:
         1.    the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Commonwealth);
         2.    the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Queensland); and
         3.    the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.
         4.    The applicant is advised that the development works for this permit may require
               payment of a compliance bond (to be determined in Operational Works Permit)
               in accordance with Council’s policies. The payment of the bonds will be
               required prior the prestart meeting for the Operation Works.
         5.    The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Levy
               must be paid prior to the issue of a development permit where one is required
               for the 'Building and Construction Industry'. This applies to Building Works,
               Operational Works and Plumbing and Drainage Works applications, as defined
               under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, where the works are $80,000 or more
               and matching the definition of 'Building and Construction Industry' under the
               Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991.
               Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt of details that
               the Levy has been paid. Should you require clarification in regard to the
               amendments to the Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service
               Leave) Act 1991, you should contact QLeave on 1800 803 481 (free call) or
               (07) 3212 6855
    B.   Refuse the Operational Works application OPW12/0276 for the following reasons:
         1.    The proposal represents excessive signage for a single business that will result
               in unnecessary visual clutter and adversely impact on the visual amenity of the
               area.
         2.    The signage is incompatible with the developed character of Noosaville and is
               contrary to the Advertising Devices Code.
         3.    The application proposes signage identified as inconsistent advertising devices
               within the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan.

    C.   Request the applicant to remove all excess signage and ensure all signage complies
         with the acceptable solutions of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan. In
         particular, no sign shall exceed a sign face area of 4m2 and total signage shall not
         exceed a combined sign face area of 10m2.
