                    Banner Program

                    Promotional banners in Bourke Street Mall
                    Promote your events and activities in the City of Melbourne through super banners.

                    Super banners provide a vibrant and strong visual presence within the city and can help you establish your marketing campaign on a large and impressive scale.

                    Our Banner Program promotes events and activities occurring in the municipality that are open to the public to attend, including arts, cultural and sporting events, as well as festivals and exhibitions.

                    If you want to affix banners to the front of your premises, you must obtain a planning permit.

                    Banner allocations are not done on a first come, first served basis, so while early applications are welcome, they do not guarantee you will be allocated all your requested sites. Sites are allocated based on a predefined City of Melbourne priority system.

                    In order of priority, bookings are taken for:

                    • City of Melbourne owned events
                    • City of Melbourne sponsored/partnered events
                    • major hallmark events
                    • events, activities or conferences that the general public can attend that are within the City of Melbourne boundaries.

                    Applications will be accepted after the due date but you will probably not secure the requested sites.
