Mediaworks Outdoor Ltd has applied for resource consent (land use) to construct a digital billboard fronting The Esplanade road boundary at 47 The Esplanade, Petone (legally described as Lot 2 DP 83751).

The applicant seeks consent for two potential options relating to the orientation of the proposed billboard (landscape or portrait), the details are as follows:

  • The portrait option will measure 9.5m x 3.5m on top of a 2.5m high pole.

The landscape options will measure 9m x 3m on top of a single column pole measuring 4.99m in height.


Both options feature:

  • A non-digital 0.5m ‘Mediaworks’ logo situated below the digital screen face;
  • A power unit located on the ground within proximity of the sign; the dimensions of this power unit will measure 800 x 600 x 975mm.; and
  • Framing of 150mm around the face of the sign.


The billboard will be used for third-party advertising visible on both sides of the sign that will change on a rotating basis in which each image will be displayed for a minimum of 8 seconds, with a 0.5 second cross fade between images.
