Frequently asked
Does this wording create a criminal offence on its own?
No. The sign evidences that a trespasser has been put on notice, satisfying the 'consent withdrawn' element of state trespass offences. Actual prosecution depends on the relevant state Act (e.g. Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901 NSW) and must be paired with enclosure or a direct request to leave.
Is 'Violators Will Be Prosecuted' enforceable in every state?
Yes. All Australian states and territories have trespass legislation recognising entry-prohibition signage as evidence of withdrawn consent. The exact wording varies by state, but this format is widely accepted and legally sound.
Should I combine this sign with fencing or other barriers?
Yes, strongly recommended. Signage alone is not sufficient for prosecution under most state Acts. Pair with visible fencing, gates, or physical barriers and ensure the sign is clearly visible from the boundary.
What size should I order for a large property or car park?
Available sizes are 300 x 450mm (Medium), 450 x 600mm (Large), 600 x 900mm (Extra 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.
Can I customise this sign with my business name or contact details?
Yes. Platinum Signs offers custom text options. Provide your requirements and we'll quote and confirm lead time—typically 7–14 days for bespoke orders.
What's the lifespan of outdoor trespass signage?
Colorbond and aluminium typically last 7–10 years. Vinyl and polypropylene last 5–7 years. Inspect annually; replace if text fades or the sign is damaged, as illegible signage may not satisfy the 'clear notice' requirement in enforcement.
