Many councils regulate temporary signs placed on footpaths or public land. Requirements can include size, location and pedestrian clearance. Check the relevant local council before putting a sign into the public realm.

They can, depending on where they are installed, their size and how long they remain. Event organisers should also consider venue rules and structural safety, not just council planning.

We can help develop and document signage concepts, but heritage controls can be more restrictive and may require planning input. The best approach is to identify those constraints before the design is locked in.

Sometimes. Approval depends on the local council, sign type, size, location, illumination, building and planning controls. We don’t give a blanket yes or no without looking at the actual site.

Potential consequences depend on the authority and circumstances, but you may be required to modify or remove it. From a project point of view, checking first is much cheaper than manufacturing twice.

They can. Illumination, brightness, position and size may all be relevant to planning requirements. If you are proposing a new illuminated building sign, it is worth checking before manufacture.

Where approval is required, yes. We can progress design and technical planning while an application is underway, but I wouldn’t recommend committing to final manufacture until the necessary approval position is clear.

Not automatically. An existing sign doesn’t necessarily mean any replacement is exempt. The new sign may differ in size, location or illumination, so the site and proposal still need to be checked.

Yes. Drawings, engineering, permits and more substantial construction can add cost. We prefer to identify those items early so the budget reflects the real project.

That depends on the project arrangement. Sometimes the client or builder handles planning; on other jobs we assist with the signage documentation. The important thing is agreeing who is doing it before production starts.

Send us the site address, a photo of the building or location, your proposed sign and approximate size. We can look at the signage side and tell you what questions need to be answered before we proceed.

Yes. We can prepare signage visuals, scaled elevations and relevant sign information to support the application. If additional planning or specialist advice is needed, that can then be coordinated.
