At their regular monthly meeting, Council awarded the contract for the provision of sports lighting at Victoria Park in Daylesford to regionally based contractor, De Araugo and Lea.
This project will redevelop the AFL oval lighting and netball court lighting at Victoria Park to a competition standard lighting system of 100 lux LED (AFL) and 200 lux (netball). This lifts the standard of play and safety, and will increase participation and create greater sustainability for the clubs.
Officers will work with the contractor to deliver the works around the busy events schedule of Victoria Park. Works will commence following the current football and netball season.
The project is funded by $250,000 from the State Government (Sport and Recreation Victoria), $169,450 from Hepburn Shire Council and $20,000 from the Daylesford Football Netball Club.
