Outdoor signage is a powerful way to attract foot traffic and promote your business, but do you need a permit before setting up an A-board, fabric banner, or any other form of outdoor display? The answer depends on your local council’s regulations. Each council has specific requirements regarding placement, size, and safety standards, and failing to comply could result in fines or the removal of your signage.

Local councils enforce signage regulations to ensure public safety, accessibility, and a visually cohesive streetscape. Some common requirements include:

• Permit Applications – Many councils require a permit for freestanding signs, such as A-boards or banners, to ensure they do not obstruct pedestrians or vehicles.
• Size and Placement Restrictions – Signs may need to adhere to size limitations and be positioned in designated areas.
• Material and Stability Standards – Councils often require signage to be wind-resistant, stable, and made from durable materials to prevent accidents.
