About Vibrantly Vacant decals
Are you a property owner or agent with a vacant shop for lease?
If you need help with attracting new tenants, you can apply to have temporary decals displayed on the windows of your premises.
The themed artworks are designed to make vacant shopfronts more visually appealing and highlight the store’s potential business use, while also improving the streetscape.
The Vibrantly Vacant decals are installed by Council's supplier at no cost and without requiring access inside the premises.
Vibrantly Vacant decal themes
There are 7 decal themes to choose from. They were designed by Brisbane artist Ingrid Bartkowiak to highlight the potential for a:
- plant store
- cafe
- food business
- boutique
- beauty salon
- office
- bookstore.
The decals can:
- be placed around existing 'For Lease' signage
- be positioned to maintain visibility to the interior of the premises so prospective tenants can see into the space
- ignite thinking about possible uses for the tenancy
- reduce the likelihood of graffiti or vandalism.
