I sure hope so but in today's world everything is possible.
A source for that picture would have been nice.

Could be an action from the "Rise up Australia" 'Catch the Fire ministry' to discredit muslims, recently the hate is strong everywhere with the right wingers.
On the other hand, you never know. Being dumb is not reserved for either side.

I've seen it mentioned on two sites that it was taken at Black Rock Beach. If that's the case, I would imagine the sign to say "Bayside City Council" instead of "City of Greater Melbourne" since it is the local council that would make decisions like this (I assume).

Also, it is simply "Islamic Council of Victoria", there's no "Supreme" at the front.

The source I found this in was Christian Ortner's blog, a usually decent Austrian libertarian who is critical of the Zeitgeist, but does not intentionally, knowingly post bollocks and cheap tricks. If it is a fake, then he is unaware of it as well, I am certain.

Since comparable demands are being made everyday nowadays, and new Islam-coddling realities get created on the ground as a matter of fact, I do not find it unrealistic at all that such "projects" and according streets signs are real. In many european countries. Or, like here, in Australia.

The "Supreme Islamic Council" mentioned on the sign at the bottom I found to exist for real, btw. Amongst other agendas, it propagates and certifies halal food. Its not a small player or just a gang of nutheads.

The post has since been deleted from Ortner's blog, it seems.

What's your source for "Supreme Islamic Council of Victoria" existing?

I made a search for this Supreme Muslim Council and found this wiki page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Muslim_Council

As I understand it, it looks like this council doesn't exist anymore.

The sign is obviously a fraud, made by right wing trolls to discredit.
A short search finds it rather quickly.

"Supreme Islamic Council of Victoria" does not exist, the "Supreme" has been inserted with what right wingers take for a "tongue in cheek".
There is no "City of Greater Melbourne" either.

Even the xenophobic "barenakedislam" (lmao ) says that it is a fraud
