Description
This AS 2416.1–compliant warning sign alerts beachgoers to hazardous surf conditions at coastal access points, cliff-top tracks, and launch zones. The yellow-triangle format with breaking-wave pictogram meets national water-safety standards and is widely deployed by councils, national parks, and surf life saving organisations. Available in marine-grade aluminium (1.6 mm, 5052 alloy) for permanent saltwater installations, polypropylene for seasonal temporary use, and self-adhesive vinyl for indoor notice boards. Sizes range from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm; the 600×900 mm is council-standard for cliff-top entries (readable from 25 m). Platinum Signs offers bulk discounts for multi-site deployments, Australia-wide freight, and trade accounts with no minimum order.
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
Why aluminium instead of painted steel for coastal installs?
Colorbond and paint systems corrode around fastener holes in continuous salt spray, exposing substrate rust. Marine-grade aluminium (5052 alloy) has no substrate failure mode and is the industry standard for SLSA and council beach signage.
What's the standard size for a cliff-access warning?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
Can I order multiple signs at a discount?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
How long does delivery take across Australia?
Standard Australia-wide delivery is 5–7 business days. Express options available for urgent coastal-safety deployments.
Do the signs come pre-drilled for mounting?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
