Public Lighting Strategy

During May - June 2026, Central Goldfields Shire Council invited residents to complete a short survey to help shape the Draft Public Lighting Strategy — a plan to ensure street lighting across our towns is safe, consistent and financially sustainable.

The Strategy outlines how Council will plan, manage and maintain public lighting so it is safe, transparent, and aligned with community expectations, while also recognising long‑term financial constraints.

Public lighting is a significant ongoing cost for Council — from installation and energy use to maintenance and replacement — and plays a vital role in supporting safety, accessibility and liveability across all towns.

The feedback shared will help Council understand how lighting affects safety, access, mobility, and confidence when travelling after dark.

Your insights will help Council prioritise upgrades, understand community needs, and ensure lighting supports safety and liveability across all towns.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback.
