Zone Objectives
The objectives of the RE1 zone are as follows:
• To
enable land to be used for public open space or recreational purposes.
• To
provide a range of recreational settings and activities and compatible land uses.
• To
protect and enhance the natural environment for recreational purposes.
• To
make provision for rights of public access to more foreshore land and to link
existing open space areas.
Comment: The proposal for
a community identification sign, considered to be consistent with the use of
the land, being a new recreation centre, and the zone objectives. The signage
is ancillary to the primary purpose, being the recreation centre. In the larger
context, the sign is considered to be of acceptable visual impact and will not
unjustifiably detract from the existing character of the local environment.
Comprehensive Development
Control Plan assessment
PART N – SIGNAGE AND
ADVERTISING
The proposal is subject to Lane
Cove Development Control Plan 2009, Part N –
Signage and Advertising. The following controls are considered applicable
to the proposed signage.
2.1.1 Maertens’ Optics
of Scale
The pylon sign is 4.5m in height
and will mostly be observed by approaching traffic along River Road from the
east and west. The proposed sign will engage viewers in a passive manner and
the proposal is assessed as being compatible with the principles of the
Maerten’s ‘Optics of Scale’ methodology.
2.1.3 Location and Design of
Signage and Advertising
All signage and advertising
proposed is to be designed and located to consider the following
matters:
a) ensure the façade of a building is not cluttered
with signage and that the portion of any building above an awning is generally
free of signage;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
signage is not proposed to be erected on a building façade nor above
awning level.
b) that signage is well designed, complementary to the
architecture on which the signage is to be erected, in terms of materials,
finishes, colours and ensure that architectural features of a building are not
altered or obscured;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
sign is a standalone sign and is of appropriate scale and dimensions for
visibility. The sign will be 1.4m wide and 4.5m high.
c) consideration of existing signage on a building, land
and streetscape to ensure that the new signage does not result in visual
clutter or overcrowding of signage;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
sign does not contribute to clutter as it stands alone in its setting.
d) consideration of the viewing angles of signage,
visibility from the street level and nearby buildings;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
sign is intended to be visible from the street to identify the facility and
locate the vehicular entry point. The sign is intended to be noticeable but
avoids intrusive visual impact to the nearby residential properties on the
opposite side of River Road.
e) that proposed signage does not unduly obstruct viewing
angles to existing approved signage;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
proposed sign does not obstruct viewing angles to any existing approved
signage.
f) signage which is supported from, hung from or
placed on other signs will not be supported;
Comment: Satisfactory. The
sign is not supported on other signs.
g) all proposals must detail the contents of the signage
and advertisements in English, regardless of other content/languages used;
Comment:
Satisfactory. The sign will display the words “Galuwa Recreation
Facility” and “Lane Cove Council” with Council logo.
h) where a logo is sought as part of a sign or
advertisement in addition to the written component (as part of the contents),
it will be necessary to demonstrate the need for the logo; and
Comment: Satisfactory. The
logo of Lane Cove Council is appropriate to identify the facility as a public
facility.
i) whether proposed signage is appropriate in
relation to the desired future character of the precinct in which it is
proposed to be located, see Section 2.2 “Character Statements”.
Comment: Not applicable.
The subject site is not in one of the character precincts identified in the
DCP.
2.4 Prohibited Signage
Comment: Subsection (h),
of the DCP lists a range of prohibited signage, for example, third party
advertising signs. The proposed pylon sign is not a type prohibited under the
DCP.
3.10 Signage in residential
zones
While the proposed signage is not
in a residential zone, the subject site is opposite a low density residential
zone in River Road. It will be prudent therefore to consider the impact of the
proposal in relation to the objectives of this section. The objectives of this
section are as follows:
1. To maintain residential amenity and the aesthetic
quality of Lane Cove.
Comment: Satisfactory. For
the reasons given below, it is concluded that the proposal will maintain the
residential amenity and aesthetic quality of Lane Cove.
2. To ensure business signs in residential areas are of an
appropriate scale and nature for the surrounding residential uses.
Comment: Satisfactory. The
proposed signage will be of low visual impact in the wider context of the
setting. This is because the dwellings opposite the site are well elevated
above road level, thereby avoiding direct visual intrusion. Secondly, there is
a considerable spatial separation between the sign and the dwellings. The sign
will be at approximately 20m from the front boundary of the nearest dwelling
(157 River Road) and further from others. Thirdly, the sign is at a right angle
to the direction of River Road and is not directly oriented towards the
dwellings. The sign is designed to be most visible to traffic, not to the
dwellings opposite. For these reasons, the visual impact of the proposed sign
on nearby dwellings would be minimised.
3. To allow businesses in residential areas to show their
location.
Comment: Satisfactory. The
sign will allow the location and access point of the recreation facility to be
identified.
4. To ensure business signage in residential areas is
discreet and consistent with the Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan 2009.
Comment: Satisfactory. The
same principle may be applied to the recreation facility. The proposed sign is
considered to be discrete as it is the only sign in the immediate vicinity.
5. To permit display of community information by not for
profit organizations such as schools, churches and community groups.
Comment: Satisfactory. The
proposed sign identifies the location of a community facility.
In summary, the sign is assessed
as being acceptable due to its relatively low visual impact in the wider
contextual environment of the recreation facility and the low-density
residential opposite.

threshold cost of $250,000 and therefore an assessment against the provisions
of Part S Environmental Sustainability is not required.

Assessment - Environmental Planning and Assessment Act
1979
provisions of any LEP, DCP, SEPP or regulation (Section
4.15(1)(a))
The proposal is permissible and
does not raise any issues in regard to the Lane Cove Local Environmental Plan
2009. The land use table explicitly notes signage as a permissible use in the
RE1 zone.
The proposal is not subject to a
floor space ratio or height of buildings development standard since such
development standards are absent in the RE1 zone.
Other Planning Instruments
State Environmental Planning
Policy (Industry and Employment) 2021
Chapter 3, Advertising and
Signage, of SEPP (Industry and Employment) 2021 applies to the application
except for signage that is exempt or complying development. The chapter also
does not regulate the content of signage and does not require consent for a
change in the content of signage. The SEPP prevails over any other
environmental planning instrument such as the Lane Cove Local Environmental
Plan to the extent of any inconsistencies with the SEPP.
The aims of Chapter 3 are as
follows:
3.1 Aims,
objectives etc.
(1) This Chapter aims
a) to ensure that
signage (including advertising):
(i) is
compatible with the desired amenity and visual character of an area, and
(ii) provides
effective communication in suitable locations, and
(iii) is
of high quality design and finish, and
(b) to regulate
signage (but not content) under Part 4 of the Act, and
(c) to provide
time-limited consents for the display of certain advertisements, and
(d) to regulate the
display of advertisements in transport corridors, and
(e) to ensure that
public benefits may be derived from advertising in and adjacent to transport
corridors.
Comment: Not all of the
objectives are applicable to the development however in general terms, the
signage is considered to be of low visual impact in the local environment as it
is designed to be directed at road traffic rather than residential properties.
As such, it is compatible with the land use and is not considered visually
detrimental to the character of the area.
Clause 3.4 provides as follows:
3.4 Signage to
which this Chapter applies.
(1) This Chapter applies to
all signage that:
a) can be displayed with or without development consent
under another environmental planning instrument that applies to the signage,
and
b) is visible from any public place or public reserve,
except as provided by this
Chapter.
Comment: The SEPP applies
by virtue of subclause (1)(b) as the sign is visible from a public place.
Clause 3.6 provides as follows:
3.6 Granting of
consent to signage.
A consent authority must not
grant development consent to an application to display signage unless the
consent authority is satisfied—
a) that the signage is consistent with the objectives of
this Chapter as set out in section 3.1(1)(a), and
b) that the signage the subject of the application
satisfies the assessment criteria specified in Schedule 5.
Comment: Council must be
satisfied that the objectives and assessment criteria are met.
Schedule 5 – Assessment
Criteria
1 Character
of the area
• Is
the proposal compatible with the existing or desired future character of the
area or locality in which it is proposed to be located?
Comment: Yes, the
sign is appropriate in its size in the context of its location and function. It
will provide identification of the recreation facility and guidance as to the
vehicular access point. The sign is considered compatible with the existing and
desired future character of the area.
• Is
the proposal consistent with a particular theme for outdoor advertising in the
area or locality?
Comment: There is no
particular theme for outdoor advertising in the area.
2 Special
areas
• Does
the proposal detract from the amenity or visual quality of any environmentally
sensitive areas, heritage areas, natural or other conservation areas, open
space areas, waterways, rural landscapes or residential areas?
Comment: The sign is
adjacent to the Galuwa Recreation Centre and the Lane Cove Golf Club however
these facilities are located in an urban area and signage such as that proposed
is considered both appropriate and necessary. The sign is designed to be mostly
visible to road traffic rather than from adjacent residential premises or open
space areas. The visual impact is considered to be controlled and is unlikely
to be offensive when viewed from the adjacent open space areas or residential
areas.
3 Views
and vistas
• Does
the proposal obscure or compromise important views?
• Does
the proposal dominate the skyline and reduce the quality of vistas?
• Does
the proposal respect the viewing rights of other advertisers?
Comment: No, the
proposed signage does not obscure or compromise views or impact on the skyline
or reduce the quality of the vista.
4 Streetscape,
setting or landscape
• Is
the scale, proportion and form of the proposal appropriate for the streetscape,
setting or landscape?
Comment: Yes. The
sign is considered to be of an appropriate size and scale having regard to its
intended function as an identification and directional sign and is considered
appropriate for the streetscape and landscape setting.
• Does
the proposal contribute to the visual interest of the streetscape, setting or
landscape?
Comment: The sign
serves a functional purpose and is not intended to provide visual interest in
the streetscape or landscape. The sign is considered an appropriate outcome in
the local context.
• Does
the proposal reduce clutter by rationalising and simplifying existing
advertising?
Comment: Yes. The
signage is not considered to result in visual clutter as the signage will stand
alone and is not cluttered by any other signage.
• Does
the proposal screen unsightliness?
Comment: No - not
applicable.
• Does
the proposal protrude above buildings, structures or tree canopies in the area
or locality?
Comment: No.
5 Site
and building
• Is
the proposal compatible with the scale, proportion and other characteristics of
the site or building, or both, on which the proposed signage is to be located?
Comment: Yes –
the sign is compatible with the scale of the recreation facility which it will
serve to identify. It is important that the sign be of sufficient size to give
motorists early warning of the location of the entrance to the facility.
• Does
the proposal respect important features of the site or building, or both?
Comment: Yes. The
proposal is not considered to be in conflict with any important features of the
site or the new recreation facility. The sign is compatible with the
recreational use of the site.
• Does
the proposal show innovation and imagination in its relationship to the site or
building, or both?
Comment: This is not
considered applicable to the type of signage proposed.
6 Associated
devices and logos with advertisements and advertising structures
• Have
any safety devices, platforms, lighting devices or logos been designed as an
integral part of the signage or structure on which it is to be displayed?
Comment: No, not
applicable to this type of signage.
7 Illumination
• Would
illumination result in unacceptable glare?
• Would
illumination affect safety for pedestrians, vehicles or aircraft?
• Would
illumination detract from the amenity of any residence or other form of
accommodation?
• Can
the intensity of the illumination be adjusted, if necessary?
• Is
the illumination subject to a curfew?
Comment: According to the
Statement of Environmental Effects
“The sign proposes
compliant illumination below the maximum allowable daytime
luminance with the nighttime
illumination level being programmed to operate at less than one quarter of the
daytime luminance. The sign will only be illuminated during the Centre’s
operating hours and contains no third-party advertising”.
A draft condition of consent is
proposed to ensure the sign is illuminated only during operational hours of the
facility. See draft condition 4.
8 Safety
• Would
the proposal reduce the safety for any public road?
• Would
the proposal reduce the safety for pedestrians or bicyclists?
• Would
the proposal reduce the safety for pedestrians, particularly children, by
obscuring sightlines from public areas?
Comment:
Satisfactory. The signage will provide warning to motorists of the entry point
of the facility. The intersection is controlled by traffic lights with a
pedestrian crossing. There are no obvious safety issues raised by the location
of the sign.
Having regard to the above
assessment it is concluded that the proposed sign satisfies the assessment
criteria under Schedule 5 and that the proposal is consistent with the
objectives of Chapter 3 as set out in section 3.1(1)(a).
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Environmental Planning and
Assessment Regulation 2021 does not contain controls or regulations related to
signage and advertising.
Variations to Council’s
Codes/Policies
There are no variations sought to
Council’s codes or policies.
IMPACTS OF DEVELOPMENT
(Section 4.15(1)(b))
The proposal would not adversely
impact neighbouring properties or the public domain in terms of overshadowing,
visual privacy, acoustic privacy, or traffic and parking. The proposal presents
a development outcome that is consistent with the objectives of the relevant
planning controls.
SUITABILITY OF SITE (Section
4.15(1)(c))
The subject site is suitable for
the proposed development as the use is permissible within the RE1 Zone. The
proposed development would not unduly detract from the amenity of the
surrounding area.
RESPONSE TO NOTIFICATION
(Section 4.15(1)(d))
The application was notified to
adjoining properties in accordance with Council’s policy for the
notification of development applications. The notification period commenced on
2 December 2025 and concluded on 16 January 2026. No responses have been
received as a result of the notification process.
PUBLIC INTEREST (Section
4.15(1)(e))
The proposal would not have an
unreasonable impact on neighbouring properties or the public domain with regard
to the matters for consideration under the Lane Cove LEP 2009, Lane Cove DCP
2009 or the identified environmental planning instruments. Therefore, approval
of this application would not be contrary to the public interest.
CONCLUSION
The matters in relation to
Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 have been
satisfied.
The application complies with the
relevant controls as identified in this assessment report. The land does not
have an applicable Floor Space Ratio or Height of Buildings development
standard.
The application meets the
objectives of Part N, Signage and Advertising of the Lane Cove Development
Control Plan 2009.
On balance, it is considered that
the proposed development is reasonable, appropriate and is therefore
recommended for approval
