The Shopfront Design Guide SPD was adopted on 12 July 2022. The SPD provides broad design principles for shopfronts, as well as a detailed analysis of the separate design elements which make up a shopfront.  This includes advice and guidance on such matters as signage, illumination, colour, materials, pilaster, console brackets, and stall riser windows.
