Project Update 20 June 2023
The Lochiel Park Orbost Lighting project has started with the electrical contractor installing electrical cables to pits in the new lighting pole location.
The existing lights remain in place and are only removed after the new light poles are installed and operational.
This method of leaving the existing lights does not impact on the current use of the oval.

The Lochiel Park Lighting upgrade was celebrated at an official opening event held on 18 July 2024 for recently completed sporting facility upgrades in Bairnsdale.
The new light towers and LED lights make it easier for teams to train and play for extended periods. The project was supported by $225,039 from Sports and Recreation Victoria, $72,452 from Council, and $4545 from the Orbost Snowy Rovers Football Netball Club.
The opening event was well-attended despite the chilly wet weather. A special thanks to Tom McIntosh MP for attending and dedicating these upgrades to our community.
