Requirements for Street Lighting

Design Note 14 outlines how the City will work with developers, the Distributor, and other street light providers to meet our street lighting requirements and respond to lighting requests.

Design Note 14 supports Council’s Street Lighting Policy and outlines additional requirements for use alongside the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1158 Road Lighting Standards and the Infrastructure Design Manual (IDM). 

Design Note 14 forms the basis of street lighting design in the City by:

  1. Defining who is responsible for the design and installation of new street lighting from an individual street light, subdivision and/or precinct level lighting;
  2. Providing a consistent approach to the installation of new street lighting;
  3. Replacing existing street lighting with cost-effective, environmentally appropriate fittings and Control Management System;
  4. Integrating emerging technologies such as Control Management Systems, 5G network roll-out, to limit their visual impact within the streetscape;
  5. Identifying when shields are used to address complaints glare/light spilling into property.
