In order to avoid numerous and on-going requests (or not) by Real Estate Agents (REAs) to place their signage on the Common Property, our Owners Corporation (O/C) resolved to adopt a “signage policy” and to then distribute that to all local REAs and to place it as another download on our website.
The terms of our policy are similar to those in the permission that your O/C granted, with the additional conditions being that we nominated on a site-plan the positions where signage may be placed on the Common Property in order to avoid the placement of those on balcony balustrades and additionally damage to landscaping and irrigation lines, limited the size of the signs to avoid those four-posted monstrosities, and advised that signs installed in contravention of our signage policy, including those left in place beyond 7 days from settlement, would be removed and stored in a nominated and easily accessible location on the CP for 14 days for collection by REAs, and after that time, and without further advice, signage would be destroyed.
It took a couple of years and the removal of a dozen or so signs for our message to sink-in but eventually the REAs, or more particularly the random people who they paid to put-up their signage, got it – very few problems now despite more Units being listed for sale!
