We installed 4 solar lights along the car park entry and northern car park at Burwood Reserve. We did this to:
- provide safer access to and from the sports facilities in the evening and after dark
- give people more opportunities to use the oval for sport and recreation activities
- encourage people of all genders to participate in sport (this forms part of our Diversity, Inclusion and Participation Program).
About the project
Our final design included 4 light solar lights instead of 6. We found that this:
- is more efficient
- can achieve the same lighting levels needed along the car park to meet Australian Standards.
Key features of the lighting include:
- targeted light to minimise impact on wildlife and surrounding neighbourhood
- energy-efficient LED lighting generated by solar power
- controlled timing from dusk, with the lights switched off by 11:45 pm Monday to Saturday and 9 pm Sunday and public holidays. This may change slightly in accordance with the sporting clubs allocated times at Burwood Reserve.
Timeline
Works were finalised in mid-May and took 4 weeks to complete.
