Signage Guidelines

  • Event organisers will be responsible for the printing and costs associated with the core flute signs.
  • Signs are to be made with core flute board. Signs are to be 900mm high by 2300mm wide to fit frames provided.
  • Signage to be kept simple and easy to read
    • Signage should indicate: What? Where? When?
    • Signage can incorporate Logo or Image subject to approval
    • Lettering must be more than 100mm high
  • A sign layout proof is required for approval by the Hindmarsh Shire Council Tourism and Economic Development Officer; otherwise your event signage request will not proceed.
  • Up to 2 signs per event subject to availability
  • All temporary signage will be displayed for up to 2 weeks prior to the event, unless permission is granted for a longer period. Signage will be taken down after the event.
  • Signage is put up and taken down by council staff.
  • A request for signage to be displayed outside the normal parameters will be considered if space permits and it’s not outside the 3 months leading up to the event.
    • Upcoming events take precedent; your sign may be substituted at any time for an event occurring at an earlier date and will be reinstalled once the preceding event is over.
    • Signage will be subject to the same approval standards.
  • The signs must be delivered to the Nhill Customer Service Centre 92 Nelson Street, 3 weeks prior to the event.
  • Signs will not be displayed until your event has received a letter from Council giving Conditional Approval for the event, as part of the event permit process.
  • You are required to collect your sign from the Nhill Customer Service Centre within 1 week after your event. If signs are not collected after 1 month they may be destroyed, as there is limited storage space at the council depot.

Note: Unauthorised event signage displayed at these locations or on Road Reserves without approval will be removed.

All event advertising requests are subject to final approval by Council staff. Council may, at it's discretion, choose to not publish or advertise events that relate to political advocacy or publicly contentious issues, or that may be considered to contain explicit, inappropriate or contentious content. Whilst we understand the importance of robust social and political debate, we must also consider and/or take action to prevent harassment, vilification of any person/people and to not permit content that may cause distress, on our platforms.

Please note: if your event requires Council approval, your event won't be promoted until you have received a conditional event permit. Please contact the Economic Development and Tourism team on 03 5391 4444 if you have any questions about event approvals and processes.
