From Bayside Shopping Centre tenants to medical clinics in the Peninsula Health precinct and industrial operators in the south, Signforce designs, manufactures and installs custom signage for businesses across Frankston. Family-owned, locally serving since 1982.
Frankston sits at the meeting point of metropolitan Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, anchoring one of the most active commercial hubs in Victoria’s south-east. Bayside Shopping Centre, Karingal Hub, the Frankston Central retail strip along Wells Street, the medical precinct around Peninsula Health, the Monash University Peninsula campus, and the industrial estates south of town all sit within a few kilometres of each other.
That density and diversity is what makes Frankston signage different from anywhere else in the region. A Bayside Shopping Centre tenant has different visibility requirements to a medical practice along Hastings Road or a mechanic on McMahons Road. We’ve been making signs for Frankston businesses since 1982, and we know what the local market needs.
Frankston has its own council, separate from the Mornington Peninsula Shire. Different rules, different timelines, different priorities. We’ve worked through the City of Frankston approval process hundreds of times and know what gets through quickly and what tends to get pushed back.
Few suburbs in metro Melbourne have Frankston’s range: large-format retail at Bayside Shopping Centre and Karingal Hub, a busy CBD strip along Wells Street, a major hospital and health precinct, a university campus, multiple industrial estates and a foreshore precinct. Each one has its own signage standards and tenant requirements.
Bayside, Karingal Hub and other major centres run their own internal signage approval processes on top of council requirements. Centre management typically requires drawings, material specs and a fitout schedule before installation. We’ve handled tenancy fitouts and signage approvals across the major Frankston centres.
Frankston signage takes UV, salt off the bay, wind exposure on the foreshore, and high traffic wear along Nepean Highway and the Peninsula Link. Materials matter. We spec everything for the real conditions a Frankston sign has to survive, not for a showroom.
We provide a full range of signage solutions for Frankston businesses, from small storefront updates through to full multi-site retail and industrial signage programs.

Often yes. The City of Frankston requires permits for illuminated signs, freestanding pylons, signs above a certain size, and signage on properties within heritage or special use zones. The process is separate from the Mornington Peninsula Shire’s rules, so don’t assume the same paperwork applies if you’re moving from the Peninsula. We manage the full permit application for you, including any engineering certificates and council correspondence required.
Yes. Tenancy signage in major shopping centres comes with its own internal approval process, on top of any council requirements. Centre management typically requires drawings, material specifications and a fitout schedule before installation. We’ve worked through these tenancy approvals many times and can coordinate with centre management on your behalf, so the process doesn’t slow your opening.
Pricing depends on size, materials, complexity and installation requirements. As a rough guide: shopfront signs typically start around $1,500 to $3,000, illuminated displays and freestanding pylons run $5,000 to $15,000+, and full vehicle wraps sit in the $4,000 to $8,000 range. Every quote is itemised and transparent. Call (03) 5977 5844 for a free on-site assessment.
Most Frankston projects take 2 to 4 weeks from design approval to installation: roughly 3 to 5 days for design and approval, 1 to 2 weeks for council permits (sometimes longer at peak times), 5 to 10 days for fabrication, and 1 to 2 days for installation. Shopping centre tenancy projects may take longer if centre management approvals are required on top of council.
Yes. We regularly work across Frankston South, Frankston North, Langwarrin, Carrum Downs, Seaford and Karingal, as well as the broader Mornington Peninsula, Bayside and south-east Melbourne. Our installers are locally based, so coverage across the area is built into how we operate, with no travel surcharges within the region.
