Project updates
Proposed lighting upgrade
We’re proposing to install lights on courts 1,2,3,5,6, and 7 (the six courts situated closest to the clubhouse) at Royal Avenue Tennis Centre.
Proposal includes
Installing 24 x 7.5 metre light poles with LED lights on six of the 14 courts (situated closest to the clubhouse) in accordance with Australian Standards AS2560.2.1.
The club currently operates 7am – 9pm Monday to Saturday, and 8am – 8pm Sunday and public holidays. The proposed light installation will increase usage on the six courts by one hour Monday – Saturday (7am – 10pm).
Project funding
To assist with funding the proposed six-court LED lighting project, the Royal Avenue Tennis Centre is applying for a Sport and Recreation Victoria grant, in partnership with Bayside City Council. Bayside City Council will support with project management but will not financially contribute to the lighting upgrade.
Project benefits
-
-
Light spill and impact
The shorter (7.5 metres) light towers reduce light spill and lower impact on wildlife and surrounding residents.
-
Illuminance
The LUX (illuminance) spill report indicates lighting levels on property boundaries below 5 LUX.
-
Safer play
The lighting will facilitate safer play during twilight hours.
-
Consistency
Lights will enable the facility to operate consistently year-round.
