Window signs in the city centre zone

We define window signs as those visible to the public in the city centre zone on or within 15mm of the inside face of a window. This includes:

  • window etchings (carvings)
  • window branding or graphics
  • window promotions
  • the use of decals, self-adhesive vinyl stickers, posters, stencil signs and changeable message signs.

There are no size restrictions on window signs displayed in the city centre zone.

More information

You can find a full description of the rules in clause 10 of the Signs Bylaw 2022.

You can find out the zone for your premises by searching for your address on Geomaps. Under the results tab on the left-hand side of your screen, you will find your property summary including your zone.
