Our Vision
Parkerville Oval is an important place for sport and recreation in our community.
This project will upgrade the oval lighting so the space can be used more often and by more people. The goal is to support local clubs, encourage participation and create more opportunities for sport in the hills.

Why This Project Matters
Sport is a big part of life in our community. Local clubs bring people together and help people stay active, connected and healthy.
The lighting upgrade will allow more training sessions and games to take place in the evening. This gives clubs greater flexibility and helps meet growing demand for sports facilities.
The project will also allow a wider range of sports to use the oval after dark. The existing lighting only allows limited training for large ball sports.
The new lighting will support:
- AFL amateur competition (150 lux) and amateur training (50 lux)
- Cricket competitions and training across multiple junior and senior levels
- Soccer amateur competition, match practice and training
This upgrade will help local clubs grow and create more opportunities for players of all ages.
What’s Been Delivered
The project has delivered:
- New LED sports lighting poles and fittings
- New lighting controls and associated electrical infrastructure
- Upgrades to support improved lighting performance and energy efficiency
- A general power outlet at the cricket practice nets
The final stage of the project involves a Western Power network upgrade, which will allow the lighting system to operate at the higher lighting levels required for competition-standard and cricket training activities, current timeline for this is early 2027.
