Planning permit for a business advertising sign
Usually you need a planning permit to display an advertising sign.
What is an advertising sign?
An advertising sign is anything on public display that tells you the name of a business, includes a company logo or gives you information about a business. It can include a sign on a pole for a petrol station, or the painted name of a business on a building or a sign that is lit up at night.
Usually sign controls in residential areas are more restrictive than sign controls in business or industrial areas.
Real estate signs
Normally a real estate sign with an advertisement area of 10 square metres or less which is advertising the sale or letting of the property on which it is displayed does not require a planning permit.
All the controls relating to the display of advertising signs can be found at Clause 52.05 of the Moreland Planning Scheme.
