    Capital works signage

    Government construction projects should use signage and hoarding that is Tasmanian Government branded.

    The Capital Works Signage Guidelines give some options to consider but it’s not limited to the shown examples. Please consider the site and the type of project and tailor your approach.

    The Tasmanian Government Corporate Brand Identity and Communicatons Policy applies or any approved department or sub-brand specific identities.

    If the project is a joint approach with a non-Tasmanian Government entity, please reflect the partnership. This is normally outlined in a partnership agreement.

    If the Tasmanian Government is funding but not leading a project, a ‘Supported by’ approach should be taken.

    Approval

    The first point of contact on a Tasmanian Government agency level is your agency’s Communications Manager or similar position. The Department of Premier and Cabinet’s (DPAC) Communications Unit can assist with any further enquires and approval. Please submit any questions and approval requests via email to communications@dpac.tas.gov.au
