You cannot display signs under or on top of a veranda in these zones.

Veranda signs in these zones must only advertise the premises (for example, the business name) and things that you can buy or do on the premises, such as:

• services
• goods
• products
• activities
• events.

• One sign per premises.
• Maximum projection of 0.03m (30mm) if over a council-controlled public place like a roadway, otherwise no maximum projection.
• Maximum sign height of 0.6m (600mm).
• Minimum 2.7m clearance above ground level.
• Advertising content limited to 50 per cent of the sign. The remaining 50 per cent can display the business name.

You can find a full description of the rules in clause eight of the Signs Bylaw 2022.
