Figure 1 – Definition of individual classes of signs and reference images.

Wall and Window Signs

The proposed display boxes affixed to the stairwell is considered a Wall Sign and the display
boxes adjacent to the entry is considered a Window Sign in accordance with the relevant sign
class definition shown above in Figure 1.

The Macquarie Dictionary states that signage is

“An inscribed board, space, etc., serving for information, advertisement, warning, etc., on a
building, along a street, or the like.’

The display boxes are considered signage as they are advertising, framed, have borders,
architectural trims, are displayed and affixed to a structure, as distinct from a mannequin/clothing
display visible in a shop front. This type of goods displayed for sale visible in a shop front window
is a form of advertising but it is not signage.
