Comms Council welcomes government report on outdoor advertising

The Communications Council has welcomed a decision by the government that appears to validate the current system for the self-regulation of outdoor advertising, with calls for only minor tweaks to how ads are policed.

Entitled Reclaiming Public Space, the house of representatives report broadly recommended maintaining the current codes on outdoor.

“We’re glad that this inquiry has weighed up community concerns and the low actual level of complaints on outdoor advertising to conclude that the system is working,” Daniel Leesong, chairman of the Comms Council, said.
