Description
The AS 2416.1 "SEWAGE OUTLET" sign marks treated and untreated ocean-outlet zones, stormwater-sewage overflow points, and licensed industrial-discharge buffers. State EPA marine-licence conditions typically mandate permanent signage at the outlet and within the exclusion zone to protect swimmers and divers from pathogenic contamination. Marine aluminium is the standard for permanent ocean-outlet posts, resisting salt spray and UV degradation over decades. Polypropylene suits temporary overflow events or maintenance windows. Vinyl serves council notice boards and facility interiors. All materials carry the yellow-triangle warning pictogram and comply with AS 2416.1 colour and symbol requirements. Platinum Signs delivers Australia-wide and works with councils, water authorities, and licensed operators to meet EPA compliance deadlines. Trade accounts receive bulk pricing; we can fast-track orders to meet licence-condition installation timelines.
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
Is this sign required by my EPA licence?
Most state EPA marine-licence conditions for sewage outlets mandate permanent signage at the outlet and within the exclusion zone. Check your specific licence conditions for placement, size, and replacement intervals.
What's the best material for a permanent ocean outlet?
Marine aluminium is engineered for salt-spray and UV exposure over 10+ years. It won't rust, pit, or fade like standard steel or corrode like uncoated polypropylene in tidal zones.
How large should the sign be?
300×450 mm is readable from 15–20 metres; 450×600 mm suits busier beaches or wider exclusion zones. Check your EPA licence for any size specifications.
Can I get a sign installed quickly to meet a licence deadline?
Yes — contact our trade team with your deadline and we'll prioritise your order. We deliver Australia-wide within 5–7 working days and can advise on installation logistics.
Do you supply signage for stormwater-sewage overflow points too?
Yes — the same sign works for mixed stormwater-sewage overflow points. Confirm the exact hazard description with your EPA officer and we'll ensure your sign matches the licence wording.
