Work on Winchelsea Bowls Club’s sports lighting project is scheduled to start in January and be complete by mid-March 2024.

The community-initiated project is progressing well, with a tender set to be awarded for installation of the 100 lux LED lighting on four new 13.5-metre towers.

The lighting will meet relevant sport lighting standards and Bowls Australia guidelines for night competition, greatly expanding the club’s capacity to cater for a growing population and provide greater accessibility.

The lights will be able to be dimmed for non-competition activities such as night training and social bowls. 

The LED system will minimise glare for bowlers and minimise light spill to surrounding areas.

Winchelsea Bowls Club is contributing $37,539 to the project, with the Victorian Government contributing $112,618 via the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund. Surf Coast Shire Council is managing the project delivery.

Club officials approached Council with the project concept in November 2022 via Council’s online community project proposal portal.

Council’s Community Project Development Program led a project working group including club board members and a representative from Bowls Australia through a detailed investigation process including consultation with specialist lighting company Webb Australia.
