Illuminated Signs Wollongong | Thomas Creative
There are a number of legal restrictions on illuminated signs, depending on the location of the sign and its intended purpose.
In some council areas, illuminated signs may be prohibited outright, while in others they may be subject to strict regulations regarding size, brightness, and duration of illumination.

In most cases, however, illuminated signs are allowed as long as they meet certain basic criteria. For example, most areas require that signs be placed a certain distance away from residential areas, so as not to disturb local residents.
Additionally, some council areas limit the amount of time that signs can be illuminated, so as to reduce light pollution. Ultimately, any legal restrictions on illuminated signs are meant to balance the need for visibility with the need to protect public health and safety.
An approved Development Application may be required for your signage and a professional sign company such as Thomas Creative can advise you during your design and manufacture phase.
