“The Authority may, either unconditionally or subject to such terms and conditions as it deems necessary, modify or waive the provisions of conditions 2, 3, 4 and 5 that follow, where it is of the opinion that the application of the same to or in respect of any particular sign would be impracticable or unreasonable and provided that the requirements of the General Conditions herein are satisfied.”

1. Removing the provision at Appendix H: Part 3 (Signs) Section 5 Clause 5.7 dot point 2 that currently prohibits sponsorship signs in the Parliamentary Zone and replacing it with:

   “Sponsorship signs or sponsors names on signs are not permitted on Main Avenues and Approach Routes, in the National Capital Open Space System, in the Parliamentary Zone (except where such signs comply with a comprehensive Project or Precinct Signage Plan approved by the Authority), near the Prime Minister’s Lodge or the Governor Generals residence”.
