Signage

1. Business Signage

There are several types of business signs that DO NOT require the approval of Council, including:

• Sandwich board signs, provided they are of a certain size and dimension, are placed in certain locations on the footpath and are removed when the business is closed. Please refer to by-law 4 - Moveable signs(PDF, 268KB).

• Existing Business Signs, if the name or message of the business is changing; and

• New signs, if the building is primarily used for retail, commercial, office, or business purposes and the signage is:

1. displayed or erected above any verandah (if the verandah is no more than 3.7m above ground level);
2. not internally illuminated; 
3. does not have a moving or flashing image;
4. does not reflect light and distract motorists; or
5. advertising the sale or lease of the property, is no more than 4 square metres in area, and is removed within two weeks of the property being sold or leased.
