D8.3 Provision of Murals
This Subchapter applies to the provision of murals requiring development consent under Byron LEP 2014, Part 5.10 – Heritage Conservation. This may include murals that impact on a heritage item or are located within a heritage conservation area, or may include murals that impact on an Aboriginal object or Aboriginal place of heritage significance.
Objectives
1. To conserve the environmental heritage of Byron Shire.
2. To facilitate the provision of murals that are appropriate for the location and the community.
Performance Criteria
1. The following considerations are to be addressed in a development application for a mural requiring development consent under Byron LEP 2014, Part 5.10 – Heritage Conservation:
a) Is the artwork suited to a diverse audience?
b) Does the mural add to the character and integrity of the location?
c) Is the artwork a mural as defined in this DCP or does it meet the definition of signage?
2. Consideration is to be given to the use of mediums that will not affect the original fabric of the heritage item (e.g. mural may be painted on removable ply boards).
3. Development applications must include a heritage impact statement in accordance with Byron LEP 2014, Part 5.10(4).
4. Where the mural is considered to be of minor impact, applicants are to consult with Council prior to lodgement of a development application to determine if Byron LEP 2014, Part 5.10(10) is applicable.
Prescriptive Measures
There are no prescriptive measures.
Note: Murals that do not require development consent under Byron LEP 2014, Part 5.10 – Heritage Conservation do not require a development application. Where development consent is not required, developers and artists are encouraged to submit their concept to the Public Art Panel for review. |
