Community Signs
What is a community information sign?
A community information sign is a temporary sign relating to a charitable, cultural, educational, recreational or community function where there is no intention of commercial gain.
Do I need an approval to install a community information sign?
Yes. Applications forms are available by contacting the City on 9400 4960.
A $50 bond must be paid with all applications. The money will be refunded after the event provided all signs have been removed and conditions met. Organisations that do not receive approval from the City and proceed to put up signs will have their signs removed and an infringement notice may be issued.
Where can community information signs be placed?
Once approval is received the signs can be placed on the road verge.
Do any conditions apply when the application has been approved?
Some conditions apply with regard to size, location and number of signs, such as not placing signs on median islands; within 50 metres of a street intersection; or adjoining a private property without the owner’s consent. A maximum of 15 signs are permitted.
When do signs need to be installed and removed?
Community information signs can be installed 14 days prior to the event and are to be removed seven days after.
For further information please contact the City on 9400 4960.
