Jan Clifford continues to flout  Whitsunday Council's own Advertising Subordinate Local Law 2011 (details below). These images were taken this morning, Tuesday 10 April 2012.

According to Whitsunday Council's own "'Advertising Subordinate Local Law
2011', it's OK to put up political posters (after the election date has been announced / not more than 0.6msq) in Residential, Commercial & Industrial environments. They must then be removed within a week after the election..

However,  the same law says that *'Political Advertisements' are Prohibited in a 'Community Environment'. Whitsunday Council defines a 'Community Environment' as::
land within the following planning scheme zones—
(i) Open Space;
(ii) Public Purpose.

I assume the PCYC is classified as "Public Purpose" and "Open Space".

It's interesting to note the law quoted above was introduced in 2011, the same time the candidate in question above was also a Councillor at Whitsunday Council.
