The City of Ryde's draft Open Space Lighting Policy is on public exhibition for review and community comment. This policy has been designed to inform and guide Council's decisions on lighting installation and upgrades in City of Ryde open spaces, ensuring they are considered in a consistent and strategic manner.
The draft Open Space Lighting Policy has been prepared to ensure all new lighting within parks across the City of Ryde, whether it be associated with car parks, recreational facilities, external park buildings, pathways, shared user paths, feature trees and/or public art is sustainable, well designed and located, and meets the applicable Australian Standards for lighting.
This Policy will be used:
- To inform and guide Council’s decision making for public lighting of open space;
- To decide where and when public lighting of open space is needed, and if so, what sort of lighting should be installed;
- To help Council staff, lighting design consultants and others, consistently apply sustainable lighting principles to new public lighting installations, replacements and repair programs on open space;
- To communicate Council’s public lighting minimum efficiency and standard design requirements.
