YANKALILLA, MOVEABLE SIGNS RESTRICTIONS

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. R.B. Such:

That Council by-law No.4 of 2009 of the District Council of Yankalilla entitled Moveable Signs Restrictions, made on 17 September 2009 and laid on the table of this house on 11 May 2010, be disallowed.

(Continued from 26 May 2010.)

Mr GOLDSWORTHY (Kavel) (11:31): Again, as I indicated in the previous motion moved by the member for Fisher, the opposition is prepared to support this motion in relation to the disallowance of the council by-law. I would like to reconfirm the comments I made on the previous motion that, in our opinion (and obviously that of the member for Fisher), the by-law is perhaps a bit too far-reaching. It is not sufficiently specific to address the issue that the councils are facing, which is that parcels of council land are allegedly being used as pseudo car lots on the weekends and so on, with allegedly commercial dealers putting out signs advertising vehicles for sale.

I understand that is one issue that needs to be addressed and I think a by-law can be drafted, as highlighted previously by the member for Fisher, to address those issues. However, the by-law is—and we have again sought information from the LGA—a bit too far-reaching, because a private person parking their vehicle on the road verge or on the road in their own residential street with a for sale sign is captured by this by-law, and it is our opinion that that is perhaps pushing things a little too far.

I do not want to hold up the house unnecessarily as we have other business to move to, so with those few words we support the motion moved by the member for Fisher.

Debate adjourned on motion of Mr Sibbons.
