Sporting and community groups are under increasing pressure to limit costs on participants and as a result are required to generate income from other sources including sponsorship to remain affordable and sustainable.
The City of Cockburn's Sponsorship and Naming Rights Policy seeks to provide guidance and direction to sporting and community organisations when seeking or negotiating sponsorship packages and signage. |
|
| Sponsorship and Naming Rights on City Controlled Land and/or Buildings
Where sporting and community groups are seeking to incorporate City recreational controlled land and/or buildings into sponsorship packages, they are required to consult with City Officers and seek approval to ensure:
Naming Rights Sponsorships
Any sponsorship package that includes naming rights of a land area or building must have a formal agreement developed and the agreement is to be approved by the City.
Sponsorship Signage
Sponsorship signage needs to be considered in conjunction with preserving the amenity of the City’s (public) controlled land area and building. |

Parking Laws and Guidelines
The City has recently received numerous complaints about parking in and around sporting facilities, such as blocking driveways, parking on footpaths or in areas designated as No Parking.
Infringements can be issued when drivers do not adhere to the parking restrictions.
The City of Cockburn’s Parking and Facilities Local Law 2007 is designed to maximise the use of available road and footpath space and to provide access to parking for all motorists. The Law considers the requirements of businesses, visitors, residents and traffic management.
The regulations in these legal documents are enforceable at all times and do not require signage to be applied. However, parking signs may be installed to reinforce existing parking restrictions within the road reserve. |
