Community Signs - Booking Form

Community Sign Spaces

Golden Plains Shire is home to many community run events and in order to support safe signage for events in the region, Council has provided eleven signage locations and has made them available for community use. 

Before placing a booking request, please read the below information carefully to ensure your event is eligible to use the community sign spaces.

Before requesting a community sign space, please ensure your event meets the following criteria:

• The event must be held within the Golden Plains Shire boundaries.
• Bookings are subject to availability.  Preference for specific sites will be given to ‘not for profit’ events in that locality. 
• Community Sign Spaces cannot be used to promote a business
• Frames are only to be used for the promotion of community events. Organisers must have completed an event registration and/or event application to be eligible to book the signage space.

Community signs placement is the responsibility of the organisers and must meet the following conditions:

• Provision of the sign and all costs associated are the responsibility of the event organisers.
• There is no charge to utilise the signage space.
• All signs must be removed by midday Monday following the bookings conclusion
• Signs must only be displayed for a maximum of 4 weeks
• Signs are to be well presented, legible to passing traffic and professionally prepared. 
• All signs must be 1200 x 1200mm and constructed of corflute.
• Signage text should be kept to a minimum – allowing it to be easily read by passersby
• Lettering should be at least 100mm 
• Allow a 60mm border around the sign.  
• Signs must not be offensive or contain any moving parts or reflective material including fluorescent paints. 
• A draft of artwork MUST be included with this application.
• For the peak period of November 1st – December 31st, all sign spaces will be a booked for a maximum of 3 weeks. This will ensure more community groups are able to promote their events during the holiday season and that bookings can be distributed as fairly as possible.
