Council signboards
We have four roadside signboards located throughout Hutt City, which can be hired on a weekly basis for community events.
Location of signboards
- Ewen Bridge on the corner of Victoria & Railway Ave Intersection (A Side only)
- Waione Street Bridge, Seaview
- Fairway Drive, Avalon
- Cambridge Terrace, Naenae
Signboards are defined as “A Side”, which are on the traffic direction side of the road and “B Side”, on the non-traffic direction side of the road.
Signboards can be hired either individually or as a set. There are four A Side signboards and three B Side signboards. (Three of these are double-sided)

Production of a signboard
We also produce the signboard for you. The requirements for us to produce this are available in the booking form. It would be useful for us to receive the following details with your application:

Signboard design is at the discretion of Hutt City Council. If you require a special design/colour, you must specify this at the time of booking. Producing a special design may incur additional costs.
All signboards are 2.4m wide x 1.2m high and digitally printed on Coreflute material. Other materials and options are available at an additional cost.
Signboard schedule
Signboards run from Monday to Sunday (not less than six days). All signs are changed on a Monday unless Monday is a public holiday, in which case the sign will be changed on the next working day.
