Fee classification table

Application fees for a full assessment are categorised as Level 1, Level 2 depending on the type of advertising device. Level 3 fees are charged for all new and any existing Level 2 signs, that use more 4m2 of electronic display components to convey ‘third party advertising content’.

Third-party advertising content is an advertisement that promotes:

  • the name, logo or symbol of a company, organisation or individual which does not own or substantially occupy the premises or building on which the sign is displayed; or
  • a product or service which is not supplied at, or primarily available from, the premises on which the sign is displayed; or
  • an activity or event which does not occur on the premises on which the sign is displayed; or
  • any combination of the above.

The following table provides information on the fee level for the different types of advertising devices. See the Advertising Devices Design and Assessment Rule for further information on types of advertising devices.
