BACKGROUND

This document sets out the guidelines for signage relating to projects funded through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development.

These guidelines do not override the signage and public recognition requirements set out in the Agreements, Funding Conditions and/or Notes on Administration governing individual projects or programs.

Under some components of the Infrastructure Investment Program funding recipients will be required to submit a signage plan setting out proposed temporary and permanent signage for a project when approval for construction is sought. The funding recipient may also be required to certify in the annual financial statement and audit report that required signage has been erected in accordance with relevant agreements and signage plans.

For all enquiries regarding signage please liaise with the relevant project officer within the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development.

SIGN REQUIREMENTS

The following requirements relate to all signage for projects funded through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development. For other components of project funding, recipients should refer to the relevant agreement, conditions and/or guidelines. On major road and rail construction projects, a project specific sign is to be placed prior to construction commencing at each end of the physical work, facing oncoming traffic. Please ensure consideration is given to safety issues surrounding the placement of signs.

Signs are not to be obscured, including by any other information signs and must be maintained for 12 months beyond the opening of the project.

The Australian Government Crest and ‘BUILDING OUR FUTURE’ tag line, should always take prominence over all other logos.

Where a project is fully funded by the Australian Government, there are to be no signs giving public recognition to the relevant state/territory government or authority other than an auxiliary sign affixed below the main project sign. See the auxiliary sign page for specifications.

Where a project is majority funded (80 per cent or more Australian Government funded), the Australian Government Crest is to take the prominent position, with the relevant state/territory government or authority logo affixed below the Project name on the sign.

Where a project is jointly funded, the Australian Government Crest is to take the prominent position with the relevant state/territory government or authority logo on the adjacent side.

The requirements are set out in the templates in this document.

The funding recipient will be required to submit final proofs of signs and commemorative plaques to the relevant project officer within the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development for clearance prior to production. Sign sizes, text sizes, style, colour and materials should be in accordance with the examples outlined in this document. A package of templates is available via request through your departmental project officer.

Note: All pre-existing signage remains in place.

Funding recipients are not required to submit proofs of signs for Black Spot Program and Roads to Recovery projects, however they are required to submit proofs of any commemorative plaques.

SIZE

For national road and rail projects the main sign may be one of two sizes according to the visibility requirements of the site:

• 3000mm wide by 1600mm high for major projects in open road locations; and

• 2000mm wide by 1400mm high for locations where physical space is limited.

For the Roads to Recovery, Black Spot Program, Building Stronger Regions Fund, Bridges Renewal Program, National Stronger Regions Fund, Community Development Grants, Tasmanian Jobs and Growth Package and Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program projects, the main sign should be:

• 900mm wide by 1200mm high.

A smaller sign can also be used for the Roads to Recovery and the Black Spot Program projects when the usual speed limit is less than 80km per hour:

• 600mm wide by 900mm high.

The proportions of the standard sign must be maintained when using a smaller sign.

DIGITAL FILE TEMPLATES

The following digital files are available from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development via [email protected].
