Hi Guys, (politically incorrect, but who cares),
Update on the Advertising issue.
I have finally been given a copy of the Decision Notice on this proposal and Clause 18 (Advertising ) states:-
a. The applicant shall ensure that all advertising devices are static and have no characteristic indicating the premise is a Gun Shop. No neon or illuminated signage is permitted.
b. The applicant shall ensure that only one (1) sign is displayed for the shop (Gun Shop). The sign shall be affixed to the premises and shall not display words or images that explicitly promote the sale of guns to the satisfaction of the Chief Executive Officer.
What a load of garbage.
Just goes to show that the person or persons who ensured the inclusion of this nonsense in the decision should be dismissed from the Gold Coast Council as it clearly show they are unable to make decisions without bias or emotionalism.
So now the owner of this no name shop is required to run a business without advertising his wares and as has been pointed out in previous posts,Brothels in the area have very non discrete advertising.
Brothels for the deviates, needle exchanges for the low life drug scum, but Oh! No, no advertising a premises that is / will be frequented by Law abiding people.
Something is clearly wrong in the values of our skewed society.
Cheers
Disco
