Monash University signage controls Amendment C269glen

The amendment proposes to amend the Schedule to Clause 36.01 (Public Use Zone) (PUZ) replace the existing Category 4 sign controls that apply to land at 860-874 Dandenong Road, Caulfield East with part Category 1 sign controls and part Category 2 sign controls to reflect the role and needs of Monash University.

Specifically, the proposed amendment:

• Amends the Schedule to Clause 36.01 (Public Use Zone) to apply Category 1 sign controls to Area A and Category 2 sign controls to Area B shown in the map below:

Monash University provides education facilities, research and development opportunities, arts and culture, and other activities of benefit to the community. The current sign controls at the site unreasonably limit the University’s ability to identify itself and its tenants to the community.

Category 4 sign controls are currently applied to the site within the PUZ. Category 4 is the “maximum limitation” signage provision within the Victoria Planning Provisions and it is designated for “sensitive areas” requiring strong amenity control.

The proposed Category 1 and 2 sign controls will provide for a more appropriate and contextually responsive provision of signs at the site in line with Monash University’s role in providing education facilities, research and development opportunities, arts and culture, and other activities of benefit to the community.

The change to the applied sign category is considered an administrative amendment which will enable appropriate signage permit applications to be made. This change will ensure the sign controls match the needs for identification and signage at the site.
