The draft Moorabool Gateways Strategy aims to address the current uneven distribution of existing signage throughout the Shire, an inconsistent approach to signage replacement and the opportunity to combine landscape and vegetation treatments as a way of creating and celebrating identity across the Shire. It will provide a holistic approach to implementing upgrades to signage and township entrances based on a suite of landscape elements and treatments.
Four key elements will be used to establish a common approach to the gateways character the Shire and they are;
The strategy sets a signage hierarchy and provides for three scales of Shire signage. This includes:
• Type A Shire boundary sign: which will be typically used on highways and faster speed environments.
• Type B Main Gateway sign: which will be typically used at prominent township entries.
• Type C Secondary Gateway sign: which will be typically used at smaller settlements or as secondary entrances to larger towns.
The signage design is shown in section 9 and shows the how the hierarchy of signs will be applied. An alternative signage design is shown in Section 10. Community feedback is sought on these designs.
Feedback closes 31/10/22.
