Introduction 1.1 Land to which this Part applies This Part applies to all land within Cumberland City where Council is the consent authority. 1.2 Purpose of this Part The purpose of this Part is to establish Council’s specific objectives and development controls for the provisions of signage in Cumberland City. 1.3 Relationship to other Documents This Part of the DCP should be read in conjunction with State Environmental Planning Policy No. 64 Advertising and Signage (SEPP 64). For the purposes of this Part, signage has the same meaning as defined in SEPP 64 (or equivalent): Advertisement; Business identification sign; and Building identification sign. Any application to which this Part applies must also consider Council’s large display advertising policy. Refer to the Sex Service Premises and Regency Green Industrial Estate Parts of this DCP for additional advertising and signage controls. Refer to the Local Government Act (1993) and Regulation (2005) for controls relating to election signs and material. 2. Objectives and controls 2.1 General Objective Protect visual amenity and reduce visual clutter. Controls Signs must not: be attached to a vehicle, where the vehicle remains stationary primarily for the purpose of advertising. “Vehicle” means a registered or unregistered vehicle and includes a trailer; be a temporary poster and sticker affixed to the exterior of the building, power poles, fences, tree, construction hoardings or the like; be of a portable nature, such as a sandwich board (A-frame signs), placed in, on or over a public place, except in special circumstances specified in the Plan; include flashing lights, regardless of whether these are for illumination of a fixed sign, to attract attention to an otherwise illuminated sign or as part of an illuminated sign; be painted on or applied on the roof; or include inflatable signs or structures, other than temporary signs. Page G9 of G129 Cumberland DCP – Part G – Miscellaneous Development Controls Advertising signs which do not relate to a use, business or activity carried out on the site or building on which the sign is to be placed are discouraged. 2.2 Language of signs Objective Ensure that advertising and signage provides effective communication for the whole community. Controls Advertising and signage shall be displayed in English but may include a translation in another language. Content of signage shall not be offensive in nature. 2.3 Number of signs Objective Ensure that the visual and physical amenity of a locality is not impaired by a proliferation of signs. Controls Residential zones Signage is restricted to one business identification per street frontage. Business zones Total signage per street frontage must not exceed one (1) top-hamper sign, one (1) under-awning sign and one (1) wall sign. 2.4 Signs on heritage buildings and conservation areas Objectives Encourage signs (including its supporting structure) that are appropriate to a heritage item having regard to the significance and context of each item. Ensure that the installation of a sign does not result in damage to significant fabric of a heritage item and conservation areas. Ensure high quality and consistency of signage on heritage items and areas. Ensure that the heritage significance of existing signs are conserved and not impacted upon by the provision of new signage. Controls All signs on a heritage item or conservation area are to be: of a high standard of materials, construction and design; sympathetic to the architectural design of the heritage item or conservation area and should be of a scale which is appropriate for the articulation and modulation of the building on which it is located; and Page G10 of G129 Cumberland DCP – Part G – Miscellaneous Development Controls located to respect the value of the heritage item or conservation area and its setting. Any sign proposed for a heritage item is to be consistent with the recommendations of any heritage management document applying to the heritage item or conservation area. Illumination of signs on a heritage items and within conservation areas shall not interfere with the aesthetic of the item or conservation area. Externally illuminated signs may be considered where: the design of the sign achieves a very high degree of compatibility with the heritage item or conservation area; and the cabling and conduit supplying power to the sign is completely concealed and does not involve alterations to or damage to the heritage fabric. Existing signs on a heritage item or within a conservation area that is of heritage value shall be retained. Any new signs are to be designed and installed sympathetically with regard to existing signs. This may restrict the locations for new signs. New signs should be located in areas or elements of buildings that have traditionally been used for signage. The installation of any sign on a heritage item is to be carried out in a reversible manner without damage to the heritage fabric. In the case of a sign affixed to any stone or brick wall of a heritage item, the sign is to be fixed in such a way that stone is not damaged, and any fixings are installed only onto mortar joints. Where the name of a heritage item carries significance, the building name and associated signage must be retained and maintained.
