Permanent sign
A permanent external sign must be erected once the project is completed. $500 to $1,000 of your funding can be put towards this cost.
If you have previously received Queensland Government funding and have already constructed acknowledgment signs, you may not be required to produce additional signs. Please contact your local sport and recreation office to clarify your obligations and to discuss sign location.
How to produce your sign
- Send your sign printer a link to this page outlining the relevant funding program so they can access the below sign artwork and instructions.
- You will receive a ‘proof’ of your sign prior to printing. Check the design and logo placement.
- Provide this proof to your sport and recreation adviser to obtain final approval before printing.
Refer to the sign artwork guide for instructions on how signs should be presented, including logo positioning, colour coding and preferred typeface.

Creating a plaque
All plaques featuring the Queensland Government logo must be approved prior to print and be based on the appropriate plaque template. You should allow 8 weeks for the production of your plaque, which allows for approvals and confirmation of event details for plaque text.
When your event has been confirmed, contact your local plaque supplier and provide them with the text and partner logos, and links the appropriate template for design.
Once you have the plaque proof back from the supplier and their printing deadlines, send this to your sport and recreation adviser for final approval, prior to print.

Plaque size and material
An A4 brass plaque is the standard for building plaques used for infrastructure openings. However, plaque materials can also include brushed aluminium, stainless steel and stone. Some situations require a variation on the standard plaque which should be discussed with your sport and recreation adviser.
Temporary plaques
If time is limited, a temporary brass-coloured plastic plaque with black font can be developed. This usually takes approximately 2 days for suppliers to produce. A permanent plaque will still be required afterwards.
Font and logo placement
Black Rotis Serif is the standard font. All logos in the plaque design should be of a similar size, using the Queensland Government logos provided in the template.
Placement of plaques
External plaques should be placed in a predominant position on the building structure where it will be seen by members and visitors to the facility—affixed to built structures, not animate objects like trees.
Internal plaques should be placed in a predominant position on an internal wall either in the entry to the facility or any internal wall where it will be seen by members and visitors to the facility.
