Advertising signs for your business

You may require a permit to display signage for your business.

You can apply to Council to put up a temporary, mobile or permanent sign. When we review your application, we will consider its structure and location on a building or property.

Contact Council’s Planning Department on 03 5734 6200 or email mitchell@mitchellshire.vic.gov.au to find out if you need a permit. Fees may apply.

A permit is required to display an advertising signboard on Council property, including footpaths and road reserves.

Advertising signboard permits expire on 30 June each year and need to be renewed.
