Improved lighting for sporting clubs and community users
We're upgrading the sports lighting and floodlights at Peet Park to improve the experience for local clubs and the wider community.
The upgraded infrastructure will bring lighting of the AFL oval in line with Australian Club Competition standards, providing better conditions for training and game play.
The new sporting floodlights will also provide increased visibility for cricket, in line with Class VI of Cricket Australia's guidelines for outdoor cricket lighting.
The Peet Park Lighting Upgrades project has been jointly funded by the Australian Government, WA Government and City of Belmont.
The lighting infrastructure upgrades include:
