Apply to install a street awning or a business sign

You’ll need approval from your local council if you want to:

• install a business sign or an awning over any part of a public road or footpath
• alter an existing street awning
• install a projecting wall sign
• install a freestanding pylon or directory board sign.

Contact your local council to find out how to get approval.

Note: You may need a complying development certificate (CDC) if the sign or awning does not meet the prescribed development standards of the State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP). CDCs can be issued by a local council or private accredited certifier.

Maintenance of awnings and business signs are the responsibility of the business owner and may be subject to building inspections.
