About the project
The Shire has been working closely with members of the Brunswick community and interested stakeholders to upgrade the lighting at the Brunswick Recreation Ground (BRG). In conducting initial investigations, it became apparent that a power upgrade would also be needed.
In April 2021, Council endorsed the BRG Master Plan that identified lighting of Brunswick Oval as a critical component for increasing activation for events and participation in physical activity through sport and recreation. Specifically, the ability for Harvey Brunswick Leschenault Football Club (HBLFC) to continue to provide for their men's, women's, and junior leagues and for the Brunswick Agricultural Society to deliver the annual Brunswick Agricultural Show.
Further to lighting requests, the Master Plan identified that power upgrades will be required to support increased lighting and power needs from developments.
The total project scope will be split across two contracts. The first contract will be specific to the power requirements and the second contract will be specific to the lighting requirements.
