- How Pricing Works
Why it’s the
best value in outdoor.
Street poles are sold per pole per cycle, usually in route packages. The rate depends on how many poles, which area, and the municipal fees that apply there. On a cost-per-person basis it’s the cheapest outdoor format there is.
That’s why we quote rather than publish. Send the brief and you’ll have real numbers from every option worth considering, within one working day.
01
Number of poles
You book a route; more poles means a bigger buy, but a lower cost per pole.
02
Area demand
Busy, sought-after suburbs cost more than quiet ones.
03
Municipal fees
Each council charges its own fee to display, and it varies by area.
04
Weatherproof poster printing is part of the booking.
05

Booking multiple cycles brings the monthly rate down.

- Street Pole Advertising FAQ
Straight answers.
How much does street pole advertising cost?
It depends on how many poles, the area, and the municipal fees there. Because you book a whole route, the cost per pole is low, it’s the most affordable outdoor format. Send us the suburb and budget and we’ll quote within one working day.
How are street poles sold?
By route, not by single pole. A package of poles down one road works far harder than the same number scattered across a city.
Do you get municipal approval?
Yes. Council approval of the artwork is part of what we handle, along with the display fees.
Is printing included?
Yes. We manage the weatherproof poster printing as part of the booking.
How long do the posters stay up?
A standard cycle is a month. Longer bookings bring the rate down and keep your name up continuously.
