Timing requirements for the different project recognition sign types are as follows:

project roadside signs:
installation – shall not be installed before the project’s official announcement, and
removal – may remain insitu for a nominated time following project completion.
project banners:
installation – shall not be installed before the project’s official announcement, and
removal – may be removed at either the project’s completion or at the same time as the project sign's removal, and
hoarding (hoarding is the mesh screening surrounding a construction site):
timeframes for the installation and removal of hoarding shall be approved by the relevant Regional Director; recommended timeframes are as follows:
installation – should be installed 4 weeks before the start of construction, and
removal – should remain insitu for around 10-12 weeks following project completion.

The project team shall review whether there are any contractual or funding program requirements regarding timeframes for the erection and removal of project recognition signs. Where no timeframes are specified, the project team shall propose suitable installation and removal dates as part of the approval process. Removal dates shall be adhered to as the presence of any unwarranted roadside sign may pose a hazard for road users. Requirements for approvals are detailed in Appendix A1, A2 and A3.
