About Unauthorised Signage
Signs and banners can be an important way for community groups and business to advertise and communicate. However, the display of unauthorised signage can cause amenity and safety impacts.
The display of certain types of signage and banners including real estate signs, home business signs and community banners can be considered as exempt development (not requiring consent), provided the signage complies with the relevant standards including the exempt development standards under Division 2 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 (the SEPP).
For more information, please refer to Advertising and Signage | Planning Portal - Department of Planning and Environment and the real estate and advertising structures fact sheets.
Prior to installing or displaying certain types of signs, you should seek advice by contacting Council on 98430555 or emailing council@thehills.nsw.gov.au
Council is responsible for signs and banners throughout the Shire and can investigate unauthorised signage.
If you see a sign that is dangerous or does not have approval, you can report it to Council and we will investigate.
