In 2022, we carried out an audit of fifteen sports fields across East Gippsland to evaluate the current electrical and floodlighting systems. Several facilities were marked as priorities for upgrades, including the oval at the Swan Reach Recreation Reserve.
The audit suggested enhancing the lighting at Swan Reach oval (including the poles) to meet the recommended Australian Standards, and to minimise excessive glare currently affecting players, nearby roads, and properties.
Your feedback is important and will be used to support our funding application for the lighting upgrades to Sport and Recreation Victoria 2025-26 Country Football and Netball Program in July 2025.
Enhancing our football and netball facilities will bolster our rural lifestyle and ensure the ongoing viability of country football and netball into the future.
Objective and scope
Upgrading the current oval lighting will improve facility capacity and participant safety. New LED lighting will permit lighting standards are met and result in energy efficiency.
The proposed works, subject to funding include:
Dismantling and removal of existing lighting infrastructure including concrete poles.
Installation of new steel light poles and energy efficient LED light fittings to provide a safer playing environment and reduce the glare to nearby properties.
Consultation and community engagement
Your feedback is important and will be used to support our funding application.
