Clayton Bay Community Hall Street Lighting

Completion of Trials
We have completed our Winter trials, which included “in the field” Isolux testing and can advise that the Smart Lighting trials are now complete.
As a result of community feedback and a comprehensive, evidence-based risk assessment of lighting in Clayton Bay, Council has agreed to make the current summer and winter lighting schedules a permanent arrangement. The learnings from this will assist in shaping future developments within Clayton Bay and be a standard part of our New Infrastructure Guidelines.
Council is pleased that we have achieved the goals in reaching a compromise between stringent Australian streetlighting standards and community requests for a lower light environment at Clayton Bay.
