Banner and flag site bookings

Bookings will be accepted from organisations which are promoting an event that:

• Increases visitation to the city.
• Provides direct economic benefits to the city.
• Is of significance to Perth, as the capital city of Western Australia.
• Is a national or international event which bring prestige to Perth.
• Reflects the Western Australian culture and lifestyle.

The applicant must accept and acknowledge full responsibility for public risk and fully indemnify the Council from and against all claims, judgements and the like arising from the erection or display of the banners/flags.

There are presently 17 banner sites in the below locations:

Please refer to the Book 900 - Banners and Flags Specification, found on the right side of this page under Downloads. 

Bookings are (approximately) 1 week minimum, installed weekend - weekend. You can apply up-to 4 weeks.

Complete the Banner and Flag Site Hire Application Form at least three months ahead of installation dates. After this has been submitted, confirmation of the site availability and the cost will be provided in writing.

Next, submit the artwork design for approval at least three months prior to date of installation. Once costs are finalised, an invoice will be sent to the applicant for payment prior to installation.

New fees and charges in effect from 1^st July 2023, following Council approval. Estimated costs can be requested from June 2023.

• The banner sites can vary in size and shape therefore some sites are not interchangeable. Terrace banners are manufactured to fit the terraces only, as are Forrest Place and the malls. The flags can be moved around between the flag locations.
• The City of Perth is not involved in any of the manufacturing processes and cannot recommend any company for that purpose.
• A copy of the proposed banner/flag artwork is required to confirm the booking.
• Only events held within the City should be promoted. Applications for events which are in regional Western Australia will be considered if the applicant can show they will create a positive economic impact for the City.
• An organisation must utilise all the poles in the required location. e.g. if the Causeway is selected, all seven poles must be occupied. Partial bookings are not permitted. If the full number of banners or flags for a required site are not supplied, the remaining space will be substituted with City of Perth banners or flags. The organisation will still be invoiced for the total cost of the site.
• Bookings must coincide with the event they are promoting.
• Administration has the discretion to accept, amend or reject applications for hire of the banner and flag sites. You will be notified of any changes via your nominated contact method.
• The City is not responsible for any damage caused to your banners or flags during installation, removal and throughout the display period.

Upon completion of the booking we will notify you of the address in Balcatta. You will need to arrange a drop of time and pick up time with our contractor.

Notice of a booking cancellation is required three months in advance. For bookings cancelled less than three months prior to the commencement you may be charged for the site as your booking has restricted the City of Perth booking these sites to another organisation.
