The Community Sporting Facility Lighting Guide for Australian Rules football, football (soccer) and netball has been developed to assist clubs and councils to install effective sports lighting for their facilities. Some components in this Guide are technical in nature and are therefore predominantly provided to inform clubs and councils in their discussions with qualified lighting experts.
This Guide covers key topics that councils and clubs will need to consider when planning a sports lighting project. These include: Planning process; Planning the power supply; Maintenance and operation; Environmentally sustainable design; Types of lighting; Pole height and location; Design standards for training and competition; and Where to get further assistance
This Guide is divided into four sections. Section One covers general information to plan a lighting project which is suitable for all sports lighting projects. The remaining three sections contain sport specific information relating to Australian Rules, football (soccer) and netball. A range of useful tips have been provided throughout the Guide to highlight a number of planning considerations for local clubs and councils.
