Council, at its meeting on 13 December 2022 resolved to exhibit amendments to the Burwood Council Hoarding Policy.

The Hoarding Policy was endorsed by Council on 19 May 2020 and regulates the placement of temporary structures on or above a public road or footpath by property owners, developers, builders and contractors when undertaking construction or maintenance activity.

A key feature of the Policy is the requirement for artwork or graphics to be displayed on hoardings in areas of high pedestrian activity or exposure in an effort to reduce the visual impact, provide new public art opportunities and contribute to the attractiveness of the Burwood Town Centre and other local centres.

Council’s Hoarding Policy is proposed to be updated by including information under Purpose and General Requirements to ensure that the delivery of public art on hoardings/site fences is stated upfront and is clear.

Minor amendments have also been made to Section 6.14 of the Hoarding Policy to ensure that the information is clear and easy to understand.

We encourage you to review the amendments to the Hoarding Policy and submit your feedback and comments to Council by Friday 10 February 2023.
