The lighting upgrade at Alexandra Oval is necessary to meet current AFL lighting standards, ensuring the oval is safe and accessible for all users, including the two football/netball clubs based there and the broader community. Improved lighting will increase the usability of the oval during evening hours, enhance safety for participants and spectators, and make the space more inclusive for all members of the community.

The upgraded lighting will benefit the community by extending the hours the oval can be safely used, allowing for more training sessions, games, and community events. This will increase participation in sports and recreational activities, particularly for groups that may not have had the opportunity to participate before. It will also improve the overall experience for spectators, players, and local residents who use the space for various activities.

The lighting upgrade is being planned with consideration for the environment and local wildlife. The new lighting will be energy-efficient and designed to minimise light pollution, reducing its impact on surrounding areas. Where necessary, steps will be taken to ensure that the lighting does not disrupt local wildlife habitats, and the project will comply with all relevant environmental regulations.
