Perth commercial signage is priced sign by sign. An illuminated lightbox fascia installed is $1,800–$5,000; an illuminated 3D letter set is $3,000–$10,000; a single-tenant pylon of 4 to 6 metres is $8,000–$30,000; and a multi-tenant pylon of 8 metres and up is $15,000–$50,000. Window film costs $40–$180 a square metre frosted and $80–$250 a square metre for printed graphics.
Wind is where a Perth quote earns its detail. With the Fremantle Doctor and the summer easterlies, a pylon or projecting sign should be engineered for wind before it is priced, and the quote should state the rating. Beyond that, the frontage decides: a Rokeby Road or Napoleon Street shop with a heritage listing is a planning question before it is a fabrication one, a tenancy at Garden City or Westfield Carousel answers to the centre's guidelines as well as the council, and a Hay Street Mall frontage needs after-hours access and a boom lift. Each illuminated sign also needs an electrical connection at $200–$2,400 by a licensed electrician.
The smaller lines: design and artwork setup at $150–$960 where the logo is only a JPEG, old sign removal and make-good at $200–$800 when a Beaufort Street Mount Lawley tenancy changes hands, and a full van wrap at $3,500–$8,500 for the fleet that takes the name around the metro. Prices include GST.

Worked Commercial Signage Cost Scenarios — Perth
Three Perth examples, priced from the rows on this page: a Napoleon Street Cottesloe bakery, an Osborne Park office floor and a Welshpool fabrication shop. Each names the rows it uses; the quote you receive prices your own frontage, wind rating and approvals.
Napoleon Street Cottesloe bakery. A bakery opening on Napoleon Street fits an illuminated lightbox fascia at $1,800–$5,000 ($3,000 typical) with the electrical connection at $200–$2,400 shown on its own line, puts frosted film across the lower glazing at $40–$180 a square metre and sets a printed A-frame on the footpath at $120–$600.
Osborne Park office floor. A firm fitting out a floor in Osborne Park orders a wayfinding sign suite at $2,000–$6,000, supply-only statutory safety signs at $7.50–$165 each for the exits and the plant room, and illuminated 3D letters behind reception at $3,000–$10,000, with design and artwork setup at $150–$960 because only a JPEG logo exists.
Welshpool fabrication shop. A steel fabricator moving into a Welshpool shed pays $200–$800 to take down the previous occupant's wall sign and make good, installs a single-tenant pylon of 4 to 6 metres on the road frontage at $8,000–$30,000, typically $18,000, engineered for wind with the certificate and any council application named on the quote, and wraps two sales cars at $2,500–$4,500 each.

Perth signage covers the CBD, Hay Street Mall and Elizabeth Quay; the strips of Beaufort Street Mount Lawley, Oxford Street Leederville, Rokeby Road Subiaco and Napoleon Street Cottesloe; the centres at Garden City Booragoon, Karrinyup and Westfield Carousel; the industrial frontages of Welshpool, Kewdale, Malaga and Canning Vale; and the hospitality strips of Northbridge, Fremantle and Scarborough.
Shopping strips: Mount Lawley, Leederville, Subiaco, Cottesloe - Expect an illuminated lightbox fascia at $1,800–$5,000 or illuminated 3D letters at $3,000–$10,000, frosted film on the glazing at $40–$180 a square metre and a printed A-frame at $120–$600; a frontage with a heritage listing goes through the planning step first.
Shopping centres: Garden City Booragoon, Karrinyup, Westfield Carousel - Centre tenancies call for illuminated 3D letters on the bulkhead, $3,000–$10,000 installed or $150–$700 a letter for the letters only, with the centre's guidelines sitting on top of the council's approval.
Industrial frontages: Welshpool, Kewdale, Malaga, Canning Vale - A single-tenant pylon at $8,000–$30,000 on the road, a multi-tenant pylon at $15,000–$50,000 at an estate entry and a monument or entry sign at $2,500–$18,000, each engineered for wind with the certification on the quote.
Offices: West Perth, Osborne Park, Joondalup, the CBD - A wayfinding sign suite at $2,000–$6,000 a floor, statutory safety signs supplied at $7.50–$165 each and printed window or wall graphics at $80–$250 a square metre in the foyer.
Fleets and hospitality: Kewdale, Northbridge, Fremantle, Scarborough - Freight and trade fleets out of Kewdale and Welshpool order a full van wrap at $3,500–$8,500 and a car or sedan wrap at $2,500–$4,500; venues in Northbridge, Fremantle and Scarborough add menu and price displays, which the ACCC says must show one total price including GST to consumers.
What a Compliant Commercial Signage Quote Includes — Cost in Perth
Before comparing Perth quotes, check each one prices the same sign size, substrate and illumination, says whether install, electrical connection and council approval are in or out, and shows design, removal and GST on their own lines.
Sign type, dimensions, substrate and finish - lightbox, fabricated letters, pylon, film or print - with illumination stated as face-lit, halo or unlit
Install as its own line, naming access equipment such as a boom lift or scaffold and any after-hours or traffic-management requirement
Electrical connection for an illuminated sign at $200–$2,400, done by a licensed electrician, with the certificate named
Design and artwork setup at $150–$960 where no print-ready vector files are supplied, or a nil line where they are
Old sign removal and make-good at $200–$800 when the frontage carries a previous tenant's sign
Sign-permit or planning application fees shown as a pass-through at the council's published rate, and who lodges it
Engineering certification for a pylon, monument or projecting sign, and the wind rating it is built to
Warranty terms on LEDs, laminates and print fade, and the service call-out basis after the warranty
A single GST basis across every line, with the sign company's ABN and proof of insurance
Commercial signage cost in Perth: from Leederville shopfronts to Kewdale pylons
Commercial signage cost in Perth for a shopfront is $1,800–$5,000 for an illuminated lightbox fascia installed, with $3,000 typical, or $3,000–$10,000 for an illuminated 3D letter set. Industrial frontages go higher: $8,000–$30,000 for a single-tenant pylon, $15,000–$50,000 for a multi-tenant pylon on an estate entry and $2,500–$18,000 for a monument or entry sign. Ordered per letter, a 300 to 500 mm face-lit LED letter costs $150–$700 before install.
After the sign type, the frontage and the wind set the quote. A Subiaco or Fremantle shop with a heritage listing, or a tenancy at Karrinyup or Garden City, adds an approval step and often a set letter style; a Hay Street Mall or Elizabeth Quay frontage adds after-hours access and a boom lift; a pylon at Malaga or Canning Vale is engineered for wind before it is priced. On top of the sign come the electrical connection at $200–$2,400, design and artwork setup at $150–$960 where no vector files exist, and old sign removal and make-good at $200–$800 at a tenancy changeover.
Whether a sign needs planning approval is set by the state planning scheme and the council, and each council publishes its own sign-permit fee schedule; the quote should name who lodges the application and show the council fee as a pass-through line rather than folding it into the sign price. For a Perth pylon or projecting sign, ask for the approval question and the wind engineering to be answered on the same quote, before fabrication is booked.
Commercial signage cost by sign type and size in Perth
Quick answerPerth prices climb with sign type: a Leederville or Mount Lawley cafe lands in the $120–$600 A-frame and $1,800–$5,000 lightbox range, a Carousel or Karrinyup tenancy at $3,000–$10,000 for illuminated 3D letters, and a Welshpool or Kewdale frontage at $8,000–$30,000 to $15,000–$50,000 for a pylon.
Size works on a Perth sign price two ways. A lightbox fascia is priced on width and illumination, so a long lit frontage on Beaufort Street sits toward the top of $1,800–$5,000; fabricated letters are priced at $150–$700 each for a 300 to 500 mm face-lit letter, so a long business name on a Garden City bulkhead moves up through the $3,000–$10,000 set band. Film and print are priced per square metre, $40–$180 for frosting and $80–$250 for printed graphics, so a fully glazed West Perth foyer is just more metres.
Height is the other lever, and in Perth it brings wind with it. A single-tenant pylon of 4 to 6 metres at $8,000–$30,000 needs a footing, wind engineering and a crane day; a multi-tenant pylon of 8 metres and up at $15,000–$50,000 at a Canning Vale estate entry needs all three at greater scale. Vehicle wraps scale the same way: $2,500–$4,500 for a car or sedan against $3,500–$8,500 for a full van wrap on a long-wheelbase van out of Kewdale.
Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Signage Cost in Perth
What is the price of commercial signage in Perth?
From our Perth table: $1,800–$5,000 for an illuminated lightbox fascia sign installed (typically $3,000); $3,000–$10,000 for an illuminated 3D letter set (typically $5,500); $8,000–$30,000 for a single-tenant pylon sign (typically $18,000).
How much does an illuminated shopfront sign cost in Perth?
An illuminated lightbox fascia sign in Perth costs $1,800–$5,000 installed, with $3,000 typical, plus the electrical connection at $200–$2,400 by a licensed electrician. A Hay Street Mall or Elizabeth Quay frontage adds after-hours access and a boom lift to the install line; a single-storey shop on Oxford Street Leederville usually needs neither.
What does a pylon sign cost in Perth?
Going by our Perth table, a single-tenant pylon sign of 4 to 6 metres costs $8,000–$30,000 installed, typically $18,000, and a multi-tenant pylon of 8 metres and up $15,000–$50,000. Industrial estates at Welshpool, Kewdale, Malaga and Canning Vale are the usual Perth buyers; the quote should name the wind engineering, the engineering certificate, the footing and who lodges any council application.
How much are illuminated 3D letters in Perth?
A set of 5 to 8 illuminated 3D letters installed costs $3,000–$10,000 on our Perth table, with $5,500 typical; priced per letter, a face-lit LED letter of 300 to 500 mm is $150–$700 for the letters alone, before install.
Do I need council approval for a sign in Perth?
Whether a sign needs planning approval is set by the state planning scheme and the council, and each council publishes its own sign-permit fee schedule; the quote should name who lodges the application and show the council fee as a pass-through line rather than folding it into the sign price. In Perth, a Subiaco or Fremantle frontage with a heritage listing or a centre tenancy at Garden City or Karrinyup adds its own approval step; ask the sign company to show the council fee as a pass-through line and name who lodges.
Who connects an illuminated sign in Perth?
Energy Safe Victoria says to always engage a registered electrical contractor, who sends a licensed electrician, that do-it-yourself electrical work is illegal and that a Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued for installation work; Building Commission NSW says a licence is required for any electrical wiring work regardless of value, with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work lodged through its eCert portal. On our Perth table the electrical connection for an illuminated sign is $200–$2,400, with $600 typical, and the sign quote should show it as its own line.
What do window graphics and frosting cost in Perth?
Frosted or privacy window film costs $40–$180 a square metre installed in Perth, and printed window or wall graphics $80–$250 a square metre. Glazed office and retail frontages in West Perth, Osborne Park and around Elizabeth Quay are the usual Perth jobs, and the quote should price film and print by the square metre with the measured area shown.
What does a vehicle wrap cost in Perth?
A full wrap on a car or sedan costs $2,500–$4,500 in Perth, with $3,500 typical, and a full van wrap $3,500–$8,500. Freight and trade fleets out of Kewdale, Welshpool and Malaga are the usual Perth buyers; wraps are priced per vehicle, and the quote should name the film brand and the warranty.
What signs does a Perth workplace have to have?
The National Construction Code 2022, Volume One Part E4, requires an exit sign on, above or beside every required exit, direction signs where an exit is not readily apparent, and exit signs that comply with AS/NZS 2293.1 or the Specification 25 photoluminescent alternative and are lit whenever the building is occupied. WorkSafe ACT classes workplace safety signs as prohibition, mandatory, danger, warning, emergency and fire signs, with colours and placement set by AS 1319-1994 Safety signs for the occupational environment, and the Safe Work Australia model code of practice for the work environment says exit locations should be easy to identify, with signs pointing to exit doors. Supply-only statutory safety signs cost $7.50–$165 each on our Perth table. A Perth office floor in West Perth or Joondalup usually adds a wayfinding sign suite at $2,000–$6,000; ask for the floor plan the signs were set out from.
