How do I request a directional sign?

To avoid excessive clutter and to ensure consistency of signs, the Council only approves signs where amenities:

• offer facilities or services available to the wider community; and
• regularly attract visitors likely to be unfamiliar with the area.

Signs are to be generic in nature, rather than displaying specific trade names, e.g. motel, church, winery.

All installation and ongoing maintenance work will be carried out by the Council's signs contractor, with all costs being the responsibility of the applicant.

If you think your organisation qualifies for signs, please contact at roading@codc.govt.nz

Signs that need to be sited on State Highways require approval from the New Zealand Transport Agency. For more information contact Aspiring Highways on 03 440 0500 or 0800 444 449.
