There are many different types of signs used for a variety of purposes. Below is a summary of some of the most common signage types.
- A-frame signs on footpaths are considered a commercial activity and require a permit. This allows the Shire to ensure businesses can take advantage of the space while keeping the community safe. To apply for an A-frame permit for your business, see the Commercial Activities on Footpaths page.
- Advertising signs can be moveable or fixed. Moveable advertising signs are defined in the Community Amenity Local Law 2022 and fixed advertising signs are defined in the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme. Fixed advertising signs also includes commercial signage mounted on vehicles and/or trailers.
- Business signage is determined by the location of your property, the size of the location, and the style of the proposed signage. Contact the planning department to discuss your signage needs.
- Directional and way finder signage is white on blue or brown detailing the way to businesses and places of interest. All applications attract an assessment fee and once assessed and approved signs are installed at a cost to the applicant. Complete a Directional Signage Enquiry Form to submit an enquiry to the Traffic and Transport Team.
- You can also read more information in the Shire’s Signage Policy.
