Appeal No. 1802 of 2019 and agree to defend the appeal.



REPORT
On 18 April 2019, Council at its Ordinary Meeting, resolved to refuse an application for an existing
Advertising Device in the form of a Wall Sign located on the side of an existing building located at
Noosa Metro Innovation Park, Rene Street Noosaville for the following reasons:
1.                       The application proposes an Advertising Device in the form of a Wall Sign in excess of 4m 2
                         signface area which is inconsistent with:
                         i.    Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
                               a.   The proposed advertising device does not complement and detracts from the
                                    desirable characteristics of the natural and built environment in which the
                                    advertising devices are exhibited;
                               b.   The proposed advertising device is not designed and integrated into the built form
                                    so as to minimise visual clutter;
                               c.   The proposed Advertising Device exceeds the legitimate need to provide
                                    directions and business identification in a manner that is consistent with
                                    achieving the codes overall outcomes; and
                               d.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are not located in Noosa Shire.
                         ii.   Specific Outcomes of The Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code, being that:
                               a.   Signs with a signface area exceeding 4m² are inconsistent with the overall
                                    outcomes sought by this Code and are not located in Noosa Shire;
                               b.   The proposed sign is not compatible with the existing and future planned
                                    character of the locality in which it is situated;
                               c.   The proposed sign is not designed, sited and integrated to not contribute to the
                                    proliferation of visual clutter and to not unduly dominate the visual landscape;
                                    and
                               d.   The proposed sign is not of a scale, proportion and form that is appropriate to the
                                    streetscape in which it is located.

                                                                                                      Page 80 of 128
