This project is now complete.

The certification of the Illuminance (lux) levels was received in January 2024.

The completion of the Orbost - Lochiel Park Lighting Upgrade will increase participation rates and support changing profiles of participation of football within the Orbost district, and supports the East Gippsland Shire Council Plan 2017-2021, strategies and plans "Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Strategy" and Place- Based Community Plans, and Strategic Plan for Sporting Infrastructure 2008.

Replacing the old light towers and upgrading to compliant LED lights will allow the grounds to be ultilised for longer periods and with more flexibility and opportunity for training and playing games.

Council is proud to deliver this project for the Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball Club and the Orbost community, made possible with funding provided by Sports and Recreation Victoria 2022 LSIF Community Sports Lighting Stream, East Gippsland Shire Council, and the Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball Club.
