Planning controls for advertising and signage in NSW are set out in chapter 3 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Industry and Employment) 2021.

The policy requires signage to be compatible with:

  • the future character of an area
  • provide effective communication in suitable locations
  • be of high-quality design and finish.

The State Environmental Planning Policy also provides time-limited consents and controls advertising in transport corridors.
