Précis
An application has been received from Mr L.W. Deschamps requesting Council approval to;
a) Park his Tour Coach (for advertising purposes) across from Ezyway Supermarket.
b) Place an advertisement sign on the cement block wall on the western side of the
Discovery Centre.
This report considers the application and recommends considerations of item (a) and
conditional approval of item (b).
Background
Council previously granted temporary approval for Mr Deschamps tour coach to be located
alongside the Discovery Centre which subsequently expired and was not renewed by
Council. Mr Deschamps is now looking for an alternative site to display his coach and
advertise his business which requires a high profile location. The Shire of Shark Bay
Advertising Devices Policy describes the requested sign as a permissible (Policy
Assessable) sign that is permitted within a Town Centre environment subject to the
requirements for designated boundary fence signage. This is also what is known as a third
party sign which requires the approval of the property owners (one of which has been
obtained).
When this item was brought to Council at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held 2 April 2008
the following options for Council‟s consideration were presented;
That the Proponent Mr L.W. Deschamps be advised that Council will;
a)
Or
1. Approve of the parking of his tour coach on one of the selected sites across
from the Ezyway Supermarket on a temporary short term reviewable basis.
2. Not approve of the parking of his tour coach on one of the selected sites
across from the Ezyway Supermarket.
b) Approve of the placement of a third party advertising sign on the boundary wall
of the Discovery Centre subject to;
Comment
1. It’s compliance with The Shire of Shark Bay Advertising Devices Policy.
2. The issue of a Licence in accordance with the provisions of the Advertising
Devices Policy.
3. The size and location of the sign to be in accordance with the Licence
