PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       9 JULY 2019


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 9 July 2019 regarding application No. OPW19/0132 for a Development
Permit for Operational Works (Signage), situated at 143 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Moving sign which is
           inconsistent with:
           i.     The Overall Outcomes of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan, being
                  that:
                  a.   The proposed Advertising Device is not designed and integrated into the
                       built form so as to minimise visual clutter;
                  b.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to adversely impact on
                       the visual amenity of the major road network;
                  c.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to pose a hazard for
                       pedestrians, cyclists or drivers of motor vehicles;
                  d.   The proposed Advertising Device does not accommodate the legitimate
                       need to provide directions and business identification in a manner that is
                       consistent with achieving the overall outcomes of the code; and
                  e.   Moving signs are not located in Noosa Shire.
           ii.    The Specific Outcomes of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan,
                  being that:
                  a.   Moving signs are inconsistent Advertising Devices and are not located in
                       Noosa Shire;
                  b.   The proposed Advertising Device has the potential to cause an
                       environmental distraction; create glare, reflection or flaring colours; and
                       create a potential safety hazard, including a traffic safety hazard; and
                  c.   An advertising device does not move or incorporate elements that give the
                       impression of movement.
           iii.   The Probable Solutions of the Advertising Devices Code of The Noosa Plan,
                  being that:
                  a.   Illuminated Advertising Devices are limited to 1 sign per tenancy.
B.   Advise the applicant that Advertising Devices associated with the subject tenancy must not
     exceed a single sign face area of 4m2 and a maximum total sign face area of 10m2. In this
     regard, the applicant may wish to erect a non-illuminated and non-moving Wall sign as an
     alternative to the proposed Advertising Device, in accordance with the Advertising Devices
     Code of The Noosa Plan.
C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
