Given the continuing and extensive number of breaches of building signage illumination through this area of North Sydney, adding more opportunities for flouting of times of operation, I strongly object to providing further opportunity being given to this application.
1. The prominent position of this building will see light spillage across a large area of the municipality to the east and south of the building.
2. Such illuminations are far from 'world's best practice' in today's age of environmental damage being caused in providing mostly coal based energy for its illumination.
3. Dozens and dozens of breaches of the mandated illumination hours continue to go unmanaged through out the North Sydney CBD. Council needs to introduce a scheme whereby a deposit (lodged by the building owner) is held in abeyance by the council for the provision of the payment of fines for failure to comply with the hours of illumination. Walk around North Sydney of a night and see the number of breaches currently occurring.
Until North Sydney Council fines building owners' transgressing the hours permitted for illumination, NO FURTHER applications to further pollute our environment should be entertained.
