Event Signage Subsidy

Council has installed tourism and event promotional signs frames located on the road approaches into Avoca and Beaufort. These allow the promotion of upcoming events and regular tourist attractions, publicising Pyrenees Shire as a great place to live, work and visit.

The framework provides a metal guide that allows removable sign inserts to slide into the frame easily and securely. The sign framework is the property of the Council, with the sign inserts owned by the relevant event or tourism organisation.

The design and manufacturing of sign inserts are at the expense of local event organisers. Council will support events with a one-off subsidy of $250 towards the production of the reusable sign inserts.

Local sign manufacturers can provide advice and guidance, but in general, inserts should:

  • Be produced on corflute or metal material.
  • Be designed with minimal and direct text (drive traffic will not have long to take in details).
  • Use of one image only.
  • Provide for a “blank space” to allow multiple / ongoing use with annual change of date or venues (consider magnetic attachments, or vinyl stickers).
  • The framework will hold sign inserts of 2000mm x 900mm on both sides.

Signs must not be nailed or screwed onto the frame; they should only slide in for easy removal to the sliding rails provided. Any repair costs to framework will be charged to the event organising committee.

Council prefers that frames are permanently populated with upcoming events, as empty sign frames do not promote a vibrant Pyrenees. Therefore, markets and other activities regularly held throughout the year can use the
