From Main Street retailers to industrial estate operators, Signforce designs, manufactures and installs custom signage for businesses across Mornington and the Mornington Peninsula. Family-owned, locally based, signwriting since 1982.
Mornington sits at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula, with a commercial mix you don’t find in most Melbourne suburbs: heritage shopfronts along Main Street, a busy industrial estate off Watt Road, restaurants and cafés overlooking the harbour, and a steady flow of new businesses opening near Bentons Square and Mornington Village.
That diversity is why signage in Mornington isn’t one-size-fits-all. A Main Street retailer competing for foot traffic needs something completely different to a workshop in the industrial estate or a medical clinic along Nepean Highway. We’ve been making signs for Peninsula businesses since 1982, and we know what works where.
Mornington’s central retail strip sits within a designated heritage precinct, which means signage there has to balance visibility with character. Council won’t approve a backlit acrylic box on a Victorian shopfront, but you can absolutely do something striking that works with the building. We’ve navigated these approvals for years.
Salt air from Port Phillip Bay eats cheap signage. Vinyl peels, low-grade LEDs corrode within 18 months, and unsealed fixings rust through. Anything we manufacture for a Mornington business uses marine-grade fixings, UV-stable inks and weather-rated electronics built for what the Peninsula throws at them.
Different council, different rules. We handle the paperwork, the engineering certificates and the engagement with Shire planning, so you’re not stuck chasing permits while you’re trying to open or rebrand.
Mornington has retail, hospitality, professional services, marine trades, medical and allied health, and a growing industrial base. Each one has different signage needs and different visibility challenges, and we’ve worked across all of them.
We provide a full range of signage solutions for Mornington businesses, from small storefront updates through to multi-site signage programs.
Exterior signage built for high-traffic locations like Main Street and Mornington Village. Heritage-compliant options available for older buildings.
Backlit, halo-lit and channel letter signage that keeps your business visible after dark, which matters for restaurants, late-trading cafés, and any business off the main foot-traffic strip.
Mobile advertising for tradies, mobile services and Peninsula-based operators. Wraps designed to handle constant sun and salt exposure.
Window graphics, shopfront treatments and full retail rebrands for businesses in Bentons Square, Mornington Village and the Main Street strip.
Internal signage for professional offices, medical clinics and allied health practices around Mornington’s commercial precincts.
Roadside signage, freestanding pylons and wayfinding signs for businesses along Nepean Highway, Mornington-Tyabb Road and the industrial estate.
Hoardings for new industrial fitouts, event signage for corporate functions and trade shows, opening banners for new tenants and temporary signage for active sites.
Branded window applications, privacy films and promotional graphics for retail and office frontages.

Design, fabrication, installation and maintenance all under one roof. No subcontractors disappearing on you.

Most likely, yes. The Mornington Peninsula Shire requires permits for illuminated signs, freestanding signage, signs over a certain size, and any signage on heritage-listed buildings (which covers most of Main Street). We manage the full permit process for you, including any required engineering certificates and Shire correspondence, so you don’t need to navigate it yourself.
Yes, provided it’s specified properly. Cheap signage in a coastal location typically lasts 12 to 24 months before corrosion, peeling or LED failure sets in. Everything we manufacture for Mornington uses marine-grade fixings, UV-stable inks, weather-rated LED systems and sealed enclosures. We’ve installed signs across the Peninsula that are still performing 10+ years on.
Pricing varies widely based on size, materials, complexity and installation requirements. As a rough guide: shopfront signs typically start around $1,500 to $3,000, larger 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.
Yes. We regularly work throughout the Mornington Peninsula, including Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Safety Beach, Dromana, Rosebud, Somerville and Tyabb, and across Frankston, the City of Casey and the south-east.
