Civic banners

Banners and signage

Civic banners are designed to add colour to Hobart's streets and provide a fantastic opportunity to get your message to a wide audience.

A typical three-week program can reach more than one million vehicles. Banners are located on poles:

  • in the city centre
  • along the main arterial roads
  • in the main shopping precinct areas of North Hobart and Sandy Bay.

For more information, view the Civic Banner Guidelines(PDF, 4MB).
