Signage

 Maintain existing drainage systems across the Reserve to minimise impact of flooding and waterlogging.

Signage

Council uses signs to regulate the activities carried out on Community Land and to provide educational information so as to provide a safe and enjoyable place for passive and active recreational pursuits.

Whilst signs are a crucial source of information, they have a significant impact on the aesthetics of a Reserve. All signs must meet a design standard and be approved by Council. All signs must be sympathetic to their environment in their design, construction and location.

Council uses the Statewide Mutual Best Practice Manual – Signs as Remote Supervision for design of safety signage.

All signage must be placed in accordance with State Environmental Planning Policy No 64 – Advertising and Signage or State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. Signage must also be consistent with the Great Lakes Development Control Plan.

Where a sign requires development consent, Council must approve as owner the lodging of a Development Application prior to assessment by Council in accordance with Schedule 1 Assessment Criteria of SEPP No 64.

Where a sign does not require development consent, Council must approve the sign before erection.

All Council signs erected under Section 632 of the LGA, plus Reserve name signs and traffic and safety signs, are permissible.

Proposed Signage

Council will ensure the following signage is on the Reserve:

 Descriptive signage featured on suitable entrance area.

 Directional signage for the purposes of guiding the community to required infrastructure and services.

 Signage for safety purposes including speed limitations and evacuation procedures.
