Signage scrutinised


Members of the public are invited to have their say about a new joint Auckland Council and Auckland Transport (AT) signs bylaw.

At the same time, residents can also share their views about alcohol advertising at off-licence alcohol outlets such as liquor stores.

The proposed new signs bylaw combines the existing Signage Bylaw 2015 and Election Signs Bylaw 2013 into a single bylaw, which will help better manage the problems signs can cause in relation to public safety, nuisance, misuse of public places, and the Auckland transport system.

Although rules for alcohol advertising are not included in the proposed new signs bylaw, Council is also inviting Aucklanders to give their views – through a separate consultation process.

This feedback will be used to investigate ways of reducing community exposure from this type of advertising. Consultation on both issues closes on October 27.
