1. Executive Summary

This Consultation Report has been prepared in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009 and

the Cairns Regional Council’s Local Law Making Process.

This Consultation Report has been prepared to document the process and outcomes of the public

consultation undertaken on Council’s proposed amendments to Council’s Local Laws in relation to

advertising devices. The report details when and how consultation was undertaken, the issues raised

in properly made submissions and how these issues have been addressed in the proposed

amendments.

The public consultation on the proposed amendments to Council’s Local Laws was part of the

Advertising Devices Policy Review Project. This broader project also included amendments to the

CairnsPlan 2016 Planning Scheme that were subject to a separate public consultation process. The

process and outcomes of that consultation are documented in a separate consultation report.

2. Background

Council currently regulates advertising devices through both its Local laws and CairnsPlan 2016

Planning Scheme. The planning scheme regulates the larger forms of advertising being; projecting

signage, illuminated signage (which includes digital signs), billboards and pylon signage. All other

types of advertising are currently regulated under the Local laws (No. 1 Administration and No. 4

Advertising Devices).

Since the commencement of the current planning scheme and suite of Local laws on 1 March 2016,

there has been an increased popularity in the use of digital signs for advertising. Council has

received a number of development applications for digital signs, and has also received enquiries

about establishing new digital signs.

A review of the regulation of advertising devices commenced in early 2017. The purpose of this

review was to establish a contemporary policy that provides for an appropriate amount of

advertising while protecting the unique values of the region.

Based on the outcomes of the review Council prepared a policy direction paper on digital signage

that was endorsed in August 2018. Since then, a package of proposed amendments to both the

CairnsPlan 2016 Planning Scheme and Council’s Local laws was prepared to implement the outcomes

of the policy review. The amendments to Council’s Local Laws included:

amendments to Council’s Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2016; and

a new Local Law No. 4 (Advertising Devices) 2019; and

a Public Interest Review Consultation Paper on anti‐competitive provisions contained within

the amended and proposed Local laws listed above.

A summary of the proposed amendments to Council’s Local Laws is provided within Appendix 1 of

this report. A copy of the Public Interest Review Consultation Paper is provided within Appendix 2 of

this report.

3. Consultation

3.1. Statutory requirements

The process that Council must follow for making or amending a Local Law is prescribed within Cairns

Regional Council’s Local Law Making Process that has been adopted in accordance with section 29 of

the Local Government Act 2009.

Appendix 3 provides a detailed outline of the requirements contained within the Local Government

Act 2009 and Cairns Regional Council’s Local Law Making Process for public consultation.

Anti‐competitive Provisions

Council identified that the proposed amendment to Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2016 and the proposed Local Law No. 4 (Advertising Devices) 2019 contain provisions that may potentially have an anti‐competitive effect.

Public consultation was undertaken on the anti‐competitive provisions contemporaneously with the public consultation on the proposed amendment to Council’s Local Laws.

A Public Interest Review Consultation Paper was prepared for the purpose public consultation to identify the anti‐competitive provisions. Council sought feedback from the community and businesses to determine whether, on balance, the proposed provisions are in the overall public interest and should be retained.

3.2. Consultation period

The process for making an “other” local law under Council’s Local Law Making Process requires that

Council undertake public consultation for a period of at least 14 business days.

Council undertook public consultation for a period of 20 business days from 11 July 2019 to 9 August

2019 inclusive.

Table 1. Consideration of Submissions in relation to the proposed amendments to Council’s Local Laws

Submission Ref No.

Summary of the grounds of Submission Section Reference Consideration

1 The submission is against the banning of electronic advertising (digital signs) in the Babinda CBD on environmental grounds. Businesses in Babinda have made efforts to introduce environmental practices and reduce their footprint. The proposed policy for Babinda hinders the ability for businesses to reduce paper usage and small increments by the population at large creates a significant difference. The submission requests Council to review the policy and come up with a solution that is environmentally friendly.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3 Prohibited advertising devices Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2016, Schedule 1 Dictionary

Noted. The proposed Local Law No. 4 has been amended to:

remove the prohibition on Digital signs for on‐site advertising within Babinda;

remove the prohibition on Digital signs used for off‐site advertising within Babinda where these signs are installed by a not‐for‐profit community group for the purpose of community information advertising; and

include a definition for ‘community information advertising’.

2 The submission requests that Council allow non‐profit organisations to utilise digital signage in prominent locations to provide information only (no commercial advertising).

Submission Ref No.


3 The submission requests Council to allow businesses in Babinda to compete on the same level as their competitors in larger cities and towns by allowing for the usage of digital signs. The submission requests that businesses in Babinda are able to have digital signs in or on their shop front, noting that there may be restrictions on position and size.






4 The submission raises that there is no need for digital advertising as personalised advertising on mobile devices is a more contemporary for of advertising. Businesses are no longer reliant on physical signage and use mobile devices to attract customers.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, All sections related to Digital signs

Noted. No change. The proposed Local Law does not limit the ability for people to use other methods of advertising. The proposed local law aims to provide as many options as possible for businesses to advertise their products and services while ensuring that the character and amenity of Cairns is not adversely impacted.

The opportunity for digital signage provides a new form of income for building owners – that in turn removes the need or incentive to fill vacant shops in the Cairns city centre.


Noted. No change. The purpose of the local law is to regulate advertising devices and it does not give Council the ability to require tenancies to be filled.

Digitals signs are inconsistent with the amenity and identity of Cairns and also the Cairns 2050 vision, Council’s corporate plan, planning scheme and tropical urbanism.


Noted. No change. The proposed Local Law No. 4 includes requirements for proposed advertising devices to be consistent with character and amenity of the area in the location it is proposed. Character and amenity will be a consideration in the assessment of an application for digital signage.

of 31

Submission Ref No.


The proposed local law does not address the cumulative impacts of bright advertising devices.


Noted. No change. Part 2, Section 11 of the proposed Local Law No. 4 includes conditions that must be imposed that limit the brightness of digital or illuminated signs. These conditions are conditions that must be imposed on a permit. The criteria for granting a permit contained in Part 2 also includes a limit on the number of digital signs per site, hours of operation and requirements for separation from sensitive land uses or zones primarily for sensitive land uses.

The proposed local law does not regulate the content of advertising devices. For example, lewd or inappropriate content or advertising for products or services outside the Cairns region.


Noted. No change. Council cannot regulate the content of advertising devices. This is regulated by the Classification of Publications Act 1991. Claims relating to defamation are dealt with under the Defamation Act 2005 and the Criminal Code. The Australian Association of National Advertisers also regulates content via a self‐regulatory Code of Ethics.

The proposed local law does not ensure a net benefit to the city and public spaces.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, All sections

Noted. No change. The proposed Local Law No. 4 includes limits on the maximum amount of advertising per site to reduce the overall impact on signage on a site, street and the region. The proposed local law aims to provide as many options as possible for businesses to advertise their products and services while ensuring that the character and amenity of Cairns is not adversely impacted.

The proposed local law is long, difficult to interpret, unclear and overregulates signage (e.g. the number of types of signs).


Noted. No change. The proposed Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019 provides new terms and definitions for advertising devices, including diagrams, to respond to the types of advertising being used in the region. The proposed Local Law No. 4 aims to allow as many types of devices as possible to occur without the need to obtain a permit from Council (identified in Part 4). Part 4, the

Submission Ref No.


requirements for advertising devices that do not need a permit, is the longest and most significant part of the local law. A suite of fact sheets will be prepared to assist in interpreting the requirements within the proposed local law.

The submission requests that the approval period for a permit for a digital sign is reduced from 5 years to 3 years.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 2

Noted. No change. The term of approval of 5 years is consistent with the expected life of digital signs. Based on this it is considered that a term of approval of 5 years is reasonable.

The submission requests that a maximum size for off‐site digital signs is included within the proposed local law. If there is no maximum size, digital signs have the potential to be as big, or bigger than the buildings they are on.


Noted. No change. Part 2 of the proposed Local Law No. 4 does not identify a maximum size for off‐site Digital signs as the maximum size of a device will depend on the design of the building on which it is attached. The proposed Local Law No. 4 includes requirements for the size of a Wall sign. These requirements will apply to a Digital that is also a Wall sign.

Digital signage is essentially a land use and signage should relate to the premises that is located on.


Noted. No change. The proposed local laws offer opportunities for both on‐site advertising and off‐site advertising. However, the local laws include provisions that restrict where and how off‐site advertising can occur within the region to ensure the predominant form of advertising in the region is on‐site advertising.

5 The submission raises that it would be beneficial to allow businesses in Babinda to be able to use Digital signage. The submission raises that not be able to use digital signage in Babinda results is not environmentally friendly.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3 Prohibited advertising devices

and

include a definition for ‘community information

advertising’.

6 The submission questions the types of advertising devices proposed to be regulated under the Local Laws.


Noted. No change. Section 37 of the Local Government allows Council to make a local law to regulate advertising devices.

The policy should allow Billboard signs to occur on other higher order roads other than just on a State Controlled Road.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 2, sections related to Billboard signs

Noted. No change. Given the nature and scale of Billboard signs, it is considered that State Controlled Roads are the most appropriate locations for Billboard sign.

The industry standard for double sided billboards is for the faces to be set at approximately 45 degrees angle to the road. Faces of a billboard should be able to be arranged a 45 degree angles, not only back to back.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 2, sections related to Billboard signs

Noted. Sections 7 and 22 have been amended to allow for Billboard signs to have faces arranged either back to back or in a “v” shape with an angle no greater than 45 degrees.

The Part 3 prohibited advertising devices are prohibited based on characteristics of the sign, not only by the type of device. This should be clarified with a note.


Noted. No change. This part must be read in its entirety to determine whether their device is a prohibited advertising device.

Submission Ref No.


Part 3, section 13(e) prohibited advertising devices is difficult to read and could be clarified with examples.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3, section 13 (3)(e)

Noted. Part 3, section 13 (3)(e) has been amended (now section 13(4)(e)) and a new section 13(3) has been included to clarify the interpretation of this section. There has been no change to the content or meaning of this section.

The proposed local law should allow for portrait billboards as well as landscape shaped billboards. Portrait billboards are becoming more common.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3, section 13 (3)(c)(iii)

Noted. Part 3, section 13 (3)(c)(iii) has been amended to include a pylon sign where is replaces a billboard that was lawfully established prior to the commencement of this Local Law. Part 2, Sections 22 (h), 22 (l) and 51 have also been amended to allow for a portrait shaped billboard (defined as a Pylon sign) to be used in replacement of an existing Billboard sign.

The submission questions whether a Digital sign is the same as an Illuminated sign. If, so the definition of Illuminated sign should include reference to a screen or the like.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising Devices) 2019, Schedule 2 Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2016, Schedule 1 Dictionary

Noted. The definition of Illuminated sign in Schedule 1 of Local Law No. 1 and Schedule 2 of Local Law No. 4 has been amended to exclude a Digital sign, clarifying that an Illuminated sign is not a Digital sign.

7 The submission request that Council revise the restrictions on digital signage in the commercial area of Babinda. The submission raises that the ability to use digital signage will support more competition

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3 Local Law No. 1 (Administration)

8 This section prohibits the use of a wall sign for off‐site advertising through omission in the list provided. The submission requests Council to include Wall sign as the preferred form for an off‐site Digital sign is a Wall sign.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 3, section 13 (3)(c)(iii)

Noted. This is a drafting error. Part 3, section 13 (3)(c)(iii) has been amended to include Wall sign, making it not prohibited to use a Wall sign for off‐site advertising and making this section consistent with the requirements in Part 2 for a Digital sign.

The submission raises that for each type of device Part 2 section 10 requires that the device complies with Part 4, however the device requires an assessment against Part 2 as it does not comply with Part 4. The submission requests Council to remove this requirement.

Local Law No. 4 (Advertising devices) 2019, Part 2, section 10

Noted. Part 2 section 10 has been amended to remove the references to Part 4 for each type of device. Section 9(1) has been amended to clarify that an application will be assessed against the requirements within part 4 to the extent relevant.

The submission raises that Section (9)15 and (9)18 in Part 2 are duplications.


Noted. Section 9(15) has been deleted to remove the duplication.

The submission raises that the requirements in Part 2 section 10 may not be relevant where an application is for a change to an existing sign (e.g. location).


Noted. A note has been included in Part 2 section 10 to clarify that not all criteria may be relevant where the application is for a change to an existing advertising device.

5. Public Interest Review

Council identified that the proposed amendment to Local Law No. 1 (Administration) 2016 and the proposed Local Law No. 4 (Advertising Devices) 2019 contain provisions that may potentially have an anti‐competitive effect.

Public consultation was undertaken on the anti‐competitive provisions contemporaneously with the public consultation on the proposed amendment to Council’s Local Laws. Council received two (2) submissions in relation to the anti‐competitive provisions and made changes to the proposed local laws to address the matters raised in these submissions.

Noting the changes that have been made in response to submissions, it has been determined that on

balance, the remaining anti‐competitive provisions should be retained in the proposed Local laws in

the overall public interest.
