SIGNAGE AND DISPLAYS PROCEDURE AND GUIDELINES

A Community Notice Board is located in the carpark outside the Spar supermarket.

The purpose of this document is to ensure signage and displays on our Vision 4885 Community Notice Board are of a consistent quality, tone, and professional standard. Vision 4885 will accept notices for public display promoting events and information in the following areas of community interest relating to the 4885 area for Community Information.

● Community News
● For Sale – personal items only.
● Health and wellbeing information.
● Arts, crafts and entertainment information.
● Inclusive community events held within the 4885 area. It may also be possible depending on relevance and space to display notices promoting events outside the area, at the discretion of Vision 4885.

The following should also be noted: Vision 4885 reserves the right to decide which notices, if any, will be displayed. Notices and brochures from individuals, community groups, non-profit organisations and service clubs within the 4885 area will be given preference. Petitions are not accepted. The display of notices about fundraising for charities may be negotiated.
Vision 4885 does not display notices which promote political or religious views, or are deemed to be offensive or illegal. Information regarding the sale, advertising, solicitation or promotion of commercial products or businesses will not be displayed.
Information regarding the sale and advertising of any animals is strictly forbidden as within Queensland State law.

There is no charge for use of the space, but the material must be appropriate for public viewing, and Vision 4885 reserves the right to refuse any offensive works.

Style guidelines All signs should be typed, not handwritten, using Microsoft Word, Publisher or similar software. Use succinct, positive language and correct spelling. The user should have copyright permission when displaying photographs. Where documents are printed in black and white, images chosen are preferred to be in black and white, not grey scale. All pages preferably to be A4 in size and posters larger than A3 will only be displayed in exceptional circumstances. Use colours that allow printing to be read easily. Items unable to be held up by drawing pins will not be displayed.

Conditions of display

  1. Full contact details of your organisation must be supplied.
  2. All material should be date stamped and will be removed from display after 4 weeks (unless an event date is later than this).
  3. Any material on the boards without a date will be removed.
  4. Notices will generally be displayed for up to 4 weeks and will be removed from display within 1-5 working days after the event finishes.

Due to space restrictions and the large volume of materials received, a notice or brochure may be unable to be placed at a particular time. Vision 4885 is unable to display notices on a permanent basis.

Display of materials on Vision 4885 notice board does not indicate an endorsement by Vision 4885 of the issues or events.

Notices are not returned after being displayed.

Vision 4885 will not be held responsible for any damage to, or loss of notices.
