How to apply
Due to the risk to drivers and walkers, neither Council or Vic Roads allow signage to be placed on the road reserve, however, we do offer 37 possible locations that can be utilised to advertise community events for a two week period prior to the event. Community event signage must comply with the VicRoads Community Event Signage process that came into effect on 1 July 2016.
Note: depending on the type of event, you may need to provide other types of signage as part of your traffic management plan (if applicable). These requirements will be outlined in your application.
