Apply for temporary development boards
We control
outdoor advertising and signage in Cape Town. If you want to display a temporary property marketing sign, a construction site sign or project board larger than 3 m², you can follow the process below to apply for permission.
Applications
Applications for temporary display boards will be supported if the smaller standard board is not easily visible to prospective clients; if the premises is located too high or too far away from prospective clients; or if the topography prevents the display of the smaller, standard board. You can apply for temporary large property marketing, auctioneering and development boards.
How to apply
Step 1: You can apply for and submit your application, with all associated documents, at any of our district offices (see below)
Please bring the following with you:
- a site plan, drawn to scale, and clearly showing the proposed position of the sign;
- if attached to a building, a drawing that is sufficiently detailed to give a clear representation of what the sign will look like, on a scale no smaller than 1:20; and
- details and photos of any other signs currently being displayed or proposed to be displayed on the site.
