Bill posters

 

Bill posters are an environmental hazard. They peel and create litter. Litter goes down stormwater drains when it rains and pollutes the Harbour, endangering water quality and marine life. Bill posters are also costly. Over the last 4 years the City of Sydney has spent over $6 million removing 804,000 illegal posters.

What is bill posting?

Bill posting refers to act of putting up posters you see around the City on telegraph poles, fences and hoardings.

Enforcement

Bill Posting is illegal under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act as it is considered a form of pollution.

The City of Sydney runs an enforcement program which could lead to penalties for corporations.*

*Community notices such as garage sales, lost pets and local fetes are not targeted

The good news

The City of Sydney provides free legal ways to promote your event in the form of poster pillars and listings on the popular What's On website.

The City has installed 8 poster pillars on popular city streets as part of a 12-month trial to provide a legal site for putting up advertising posters.

Poster pillars operate on a first come, first served basis, with posters removed every Tuesday.

Poster etiquette

The City encourages good poster etiquette. Please do not post over other posters unless they are out of date or there is more than one copy of the poster on view.
