Portable Signs
The Mt Hotham Resort Management is working towards a fully accessible village that is safe and easy for people to move around. Public footpaths and roads should provide safe and unimpeded access to businesses and services. To this end, activities on the roads and paths (including portable signs) are limited to locations where public safety and visual amenity can be maintained.
Guidelines have been developed to provide acceptable solutions for the design and placement of portable signs in public places. These guidelines are available below.
The use of off-site public areas by businesses in not a right, but a privilege that could be granted to traders only where there is no danger and where amenity is retained. Every existing and new business will need to comply with these Guidelines.
