Advertising signs can only be placed on or next to the business premises to which it relates. Any sign not directly related to the premise it is on, or adjacent to, is referred to as ‘Third Party Advertising’.

Third party advertising means advertising that provides information about:

·  Services and goods that are not produced, provided or sold on the premises; or

·  Businesses, events or activities not carried out or associated with the premises.

Third Party Advertising is not permitted in Darwin. Therefore billboard advertising signs are prohibited within the Darwin municipality, for the following reasons:

·  They may affect the amenity and visual character of an area;

·  May cause conflict if placed too close to a competing business; and

·  May cause visual clutter

We would like to know:

Q  Are there any places where third party advertising signs might be appropriate? Please provide details such as the type of advertising or location.
