Draft Public Lighting Policy

Kingston Council has been working on a policy to provide guidelines and principles for the provision of street and public place lighting to ensure safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians and to discourage illegal and antisocial activity.

The draft Kingston Public Lighting Policy provides direction on the design approach for the installation of new or replacement public lighting and the procedures that Council will follow in order to manage the provision of Public Lighting.

Scope

The Street and Public Place Lighting Policy provides direction for lighting needs in commercial, residential, industrial areas as well as car parks, parks and reserves. The policy addresses the public lighting requirements of the following areas within the municipality:

• Residential zones

• Commercial zones including major and minor activity centres

• Foreshore zones

• Parks, foreshores and passive recreational areas

• School and safety zones

• External lighting of public buildings

• Industrial zones

• Narrow roads and laneways

• Sporting facilities.

You can access the draft Kingston Public Lighting Policy in the Document Library to the right.
