Signs

Permanent Hastings Heart of Hawke's Bay 'gateway' signs.

There are 7 gateway signs located throughout the district.

Previously these signs were available for all events to use for promotion. As of September 2015 these signs are solely for the use of events which are supported by Hastings District Council, with preference given to events of regional and district significance (as defined in the HDC events strategy). The use of these signs is at the sole discretion of the HDC Events Manager please contact for more information.

Banners

Hastings District Council has two permanent banner locations in Hastings; Heretaunga Street West and Heretaunga Street East.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING BANNERS - FEBRUARY 2016

In January 2016 a severe wind damaged one of the banner sites and revealed a structural issue with the anchor bolts. As such that site is now inoperative and as a precaution we have suspended the second pending a thorough engineers report. This means that both banner sites are unavailable until at least April 2016.

We regret the inconvenience and will keep you informed.
