Roadside Signposting Application

About this form

ABOUT THIS FORM

Roadside signage is provided to assist and guide road users to things such as community facilities, accommodation, local attractions and visitor services. This type of signage is for direction and information only, not for promotion or advertising. Signage has been standardised to provide clear and consistent information to road users which is outlined in Australian Standard AS1742.6. This ensures signage within the road reserve is safe, efficient and effective for all road users.

Council are responsible for approving and monitoring signage in the road reserve. This application form has been prepared to assist you in applying for the appropriate type of sign for your facility or service. It will guide you through the documentation and any additional approvals which are required to be submitted for assessment and provide examples throughout.

You can use this application to apply for the following roadside signage:
