Description
Warn unauthorised vehicle owners that their car will be towed at their expense. This sign must be visible at the car-park or driveway entry for the implied-consent-to-tow framework to apply. State regulations vary — in NSW, the Tow Truck Industry Act 1998 requires the tow operator to hold a licence; Victoria, Queensland, and other states have their own rules. Always consult a licensed tow operator before acting. Available in Colorbond, polypropylene, and aluminium in 300×450 mm or 450×600 mm. Reflective Class 1 or 2 improves night visibility; lamination extends outdoor life. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide with pre-drilled holes and offers trade bulk discounts for multi-site installations.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Can I legally tow a car from private property?
Rules vary by state. In NSW, the tow operator must hold a Tow Truck Industry Act 1998 licence. Victoria, Queensland, and other states have equivalent regulations. Install the sign at the car-park entrance and engage a licensed tow operator before removing any vehicle.
Where exactly should I mount the sign?
Install at the car-park entrance, gate, or driveway entry — any point where a driver can clearly see it before parking. The sign must be visible and legible to establish notice.
Should I use reflective material?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Can I customise the text or add my phone number?
Yes — custom text is available at no extra cost on orders of 5+ units. Adding your contact number or tow operator's details is recommended for clarity.
What size for a multi-storey car park?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
How long does delivery take?
