Artwork for signs

Sign templates have been developed to make it easier for you and your sign writer to produce appropriate signage.

What else do I need to know before producing my sign/s?

  • You must use the artwork files provided by the department for all signage 
  • Ensure your signs are created from original artwork provided by the department and are not recreated or redrawn
  • Ensure your signs are not reproduced at a smaller size than the specified size
  • For Category 2 Medium funded projects and Category 3 Major funded projects, you must erect a temporary sign during construction to prevent damage to your permanent sign. This can be made from coreflute or metal. This must be replaced with a permanent sign when construction is completed.
  • Contact a sign writer in your local area to produce your signs
  • Permanent signs are usually made from materials such as Aluminium, ACM or sign white in a frame. Talk to your sign writer about your specific signage needs.
  • All departmental sign design templates have a separate code (1AP, 2AT, etc). You will need to advise your sign writer/producer of the appropriate sign code for the sign that best meets your needs.
  • For permanent signage, ensure that you discuss the proposed location of the sign with your allocated departmental sport and recreation officer.
  • Contact your allocated departmental sport and recreation officer if you have any queries.
