Veranda signs in rural zones
You can display signs on the fascia (the board fixed to the outside edge of a veranda) on a premises in a rural zone.
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.
Rules for veranda signs in rural zones
- 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.
