About this program

We have more than 2,000 banner poles available for hire.

The street banner sponsorship provides banner pole hire fee waiver for our network of banners, enhancing streetscape vibrancy and raising the profile of forthcoming cultural events, social issues and other activities.

Sponsorship only applies to banner pole hire fees. Applicants must meet all standard conditions of hire and pay all additional charges such as design, manufacture, installation and dismantling of banners.

For fees and charges see sydneycitybanners.com.au .

Initiatives and projects can contribute to one or more of the following outcomes:
- increased awareness and profile of issues, events and activities of registered charities, not-for-profits and cultural institutions
- positive contribution to the overall character and vibrancy of streetscapes through use of an attractive and visual medium
- strengthened cultural and community life.
Applications are assessed against the expected program outcomes. The assessment panel will also consider:
- evidence of a coordinated approach to service delivery and the development of responses to emerging social issues
- contribution to strengthened formal and informal support networks
- reduced isolation and increased community participation and opportunities
- opportunities for learning and sharing knowledge
- contribution to a sustainable cultural sector
- support for increased relative equality in the City of Sydney local area
- contribution towards a thriving and diverse green economy of businesses and organisations focused on improving the environmental performance of the city
