TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2012<br />

DV12.131 LOT 2 (NO. 138) RAILWAY PARADE, WEST LEEDERVILLE - RO<strong>OF</strong><br />

ADVERTISING SIGN<br />

SUMMARY:<br />

The <strong>Town</strong> has received an application for one double-sided ro<strong>of</strong> sign at No. 138 Railway<br />

Parade, West Leederville. The plans show a new double-sided sign on the ro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the<br />

commercial building. It is 3.3 metres in height and 12.6 metres in length. Its position above<br />

the 7.9 metre high building will bring the sign to a height <strong>of</strong> 11.2 metres above ground level.<br />

The proposal does not satisfy the relevant development requirements for the following<br />

reasons:-<br />

• the size and scale <strong>of</strong> the sign will have a significant detrimental visual impact on the<br />

streetscape; and<br />

• the proposal is not compatible with the existing signage in the area and would create<br />

an undesirable precedent.<br />

Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for refusal.<br />

PURPOSE:<br />

To consider an application for one double-sided ro<strong>of</strong> sign requiring assessment under the<br />

requirements <strong>of</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Planning Scheme No. 1 and the <strong>Town</strong>’s Policy ‘Ancillary Uses and<br />

Development - 5.2 Advertising Signs’.<br />

BACKGROUND:<br />

Application: 411DA-2012<br />

Owner:<br />

John Harding & Marlene Harding<br />

Applicant: John Harding & Marlene Harding<br />

Zoning:<br />

Commercial<br />

Use class: Advertisement ‘AA’ – not permitted unless the Council has granted<br />

planning approval<br />

Land area: 334m²<br />

Council, at its March 2012 meeting, approved one pylon advertising sign on the adjoining<br />

site to the east, Lot 1 (No.3) Oxford Close, West Leederville. This approved sign will be<br />

12.66 metres wide, 3.35 metres high and has an overall height <strong>of</strong> 9.75 metres above ground<br />

level. The approved sign replaces the existing sign along the western boundary <strong>of</strong> No.3<br />

Oxford Close and abutting the eastern wall <strong>of</strong> No.138 Railway Parade. Commercial rights to<br />

the sign being replaced are the subject <strong>of</strong> dispute between the owners <strong>of</strong> the adjoining<br />

properties.<br />

In April 2012, the <strong>Town</strong>, under delegated authority refused an application for a second pylon<br />

sign (dimensions 12.66 metres x 3.35 metres with an overall height 9.75 metres) on No.3<br />

Oxford Close on the northern side <strong>of</strong> the lot in April 2012. This application was the subject <strong>of</strong><br />

a State Administrative Tribunal appeal. The refusal <strong>of</strong> the Council was upheld by SAT at a<br />

full hearing in October 2012. The Tribunal considered the sign was <strong>of</strong> such a scale, height<br />
