Use this form to report a damaged or faulty sports light at a sporting reserve.

To help us assess and respond to your request, please provide as much information as possible, including the specific light affected and a detailed description of the issue.

Sports lighting requests will be prioritised and triaged according to urgency and the impact on sport participation and safety.

Seasonal booking

The "Seasonal Determination" for community sporting facilities refers to the Ministerial Determination on the Division of Seasons and Occupation of Crown Lands, which dictates the priority handover periods for shared sporting facilities.

Summer Season

1 October to 31 March

Winter Season

1 April to 30 September

Winter allocations will be called for in February of each year, with confirmation of allocation to be sent to clubs in March.

Seasonal summer allocations will be called for in August of each year, with confirmation of allocation to be sent to clubs in September.

Pre-season

Teams are permitted to use grounds for pre-season training before their priority window opens, provided it does not adversely affect the club currently holding priority rights.

Fair Play

The Fair Play Policy establishes the framework for fees and charges associated with the hire of outdoor recreation facilities in the City of Greater Geelong (the City). 

The Policy is intended to promote equity, consistency and transparency in the application of fees, whilst supporting the long-term, sustainable delivery of these community spaces.

As the primary provider of outdoor recreation facilities, the City significantly subsidises costs to support user groups. However, user contributions assist in covering maintenance and operational expenses to ensure facilities are safe and fit for purpose.
