against decisions <strong>of</strong> the Council during October 2012:<br />
• Lot 131 (No. 35) Kingsland Avenue, City Beach - Amended plans for two storey<br />

Applications for Review (Appeals) - determined<br />
The following application for review was determined by the State Administrative Tribunal<br />
during October 2012 as follows:<br />
Property: Lot 1 (No. 3) Oxford Close, West Leederville<br />
Proposal:<br />
Advertising sign (Billboard)<br />
A hearing was held on 8 October 2012. At this hearing, the SAT made the following orders:<br />
1. The application for review is dismissed.<br />
2. The decision <strong>of</strong> the respondent made on 24 July 2012 to refuse development approval<br />
for the advertising sign at Lot 1 Oxford Close, West Leederville, is affirmed.<br />
The tribunal assessed that the proposed sign was <strong>of</strong> such a scale, height and dominance<br />
that it was out <strong>of</strong> character with the built form <strong>of</strong> the area, and that it would unreasonably<br />
impact on the streetscape and amenity <strong>of</strong> the locality. Ins<strong>of</strong>ar was the proposed sign would<br />
project above and beyond the pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> surrounding buildings, it may also be seen as an<br />
undesirable precedent for applications for signage that could similarly overbear other<br />
buildings in the locality.<br />
