Planning towards an LED lighting upgrade at Maffra Lawn Tennis Club.
Wellington Shire Council is re-engaging with residents that surround the Maffra Lawn Tennis Club following previous engagement that was completed in 2024. Our previous funding submission was unsuccessful, and we are currently preparing to reapply for State Government Funding to support this project.

The proposed LED lighting upgrade will provide the community with safer facilities, in line with sporting code guidelines.
Background
The lighting upgrade will involve removal of the existing light towers that are approximately 12 meters tall (including metal halide light fixtures). The new proposed towers will be 12 meters and include LED light fixtures. The new towers and LED fixtures will improve lighting on the playing field and reduce lighting spill for neighbours.
Please see the image below of new LED lights at Cowwarr Recreation Reserve, installed in August 2021. "The LED lighting technology is quite amazing. The residual glow from the lights is really insignificant and our electrical bills have been reduced by about 40%, we are very happy with the new lighting" - Garry Blair, Cowwarr Recreation Reserve committee.
