Community Update

Dear Community Member,

Thank you to everyone who attended the Roadshow Public Meeting and Dark Sky Information Session on Monday 5 June 2023.

Since the meeting, Council’s Infrastructure Team have received feedback and are working towards exploring lighting solutions in the Clayton Bay Pelican Waters development that are in alignment with community sentiment and Council’s requirements.

The first step in determining what solutions are possible was to undertake a risk assessment of the traffic arrangement in the affected streets.

Since Thursday 8 June until 19 June 2023, traffic counters were installed at various locations to assess time stamped traffic volumes and speeds. This period spanned a regular and long weekend collecting valuable data that in combination with a traffic engineering study will provide Council with information for a thorough risk assessment.

If supported by the data and assessment, Council will be able to advise which lights may be turned off by the end of this week and which lights require further treatment options (shielding, dimming etc).

Council continues to explore options regarding longer term measures such as reviewing the Design Guidelines and functionality of a Lighting Policy for future Planning and Development considerations.
