Lindenow - Recreation Reserve Lighting Upgrade

Consultation has concluded

About the Project

Council secured funding through Sport and Recreation Victoria for the replacement of the aged and inefficient lighting at the Lindenow Sports Ground. Works included the installation of new lighting infrastructure which includes new light towers and LED lights.

The proposed outcome of the Lindenow Recreation Reserve Lighting Upgrade was to:

Develop new or maintain existing participation opportunities in football and/or netball, where there is a risk to participation decline
Improve diversity and inclusiveness in participation by prioritising projects that provide opportunities for under-represented groups (such as women and girls, people with a disability), as outlined in Active Victoria
Support gender equality in participation, coaching, administration, umpiring and volunteering
Improve physical and mental health, social and economic outcomes for traditionally disadvantaged communities such as low socio-economic areas, growth areas, and communities experiencing long-term disadvantage
Develop multi-use, shared and co-located facilities

Funding

The project was primarily funded through Sport and Recreation Victoria, with contributions from Council and the Lindenow Sport Ground Committee.

Four new light poles were installed at Lindenow Recreation Reserve on Tuesday, 23 May 2023.
The electrical cable and pits were installed some weeks ago, so the contractor will now connect and energise the electrical switchboard. The lights will be checked for compliant lux levels in the next few weeks.
Once the new lights are working, the old existing lights will be disconnected and removed.
