The Shire of East Pilbara is excited to announce the upgrade of sports lighting at Capricorn, Kangaroo, and Boomerang Ovals, in collaboration with the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries through the Club Night Lights Program.
Work will begin at Capricorn Oval with the decommissioning of the existing lights from 3rd to 6th April, followed by the installation of new cross arms and lights from 7th to 15th April. Upgrades to the other ovals are expected to be completed by mid-June 2025.
Oval Lighting Upgrade expected schedule:
- Capricorn Oval
3rd April – 15th April
- Kangaroo Oval:
Late April – mid-May
- Boomerang Oval:
Late May – mid-June
Please be aware that elevated work platforms will be in use during this period, and a clearly defined work zone will be established. We ask that you plan accordingly and avoid the designated work area when possible.
Casual community use, such as dog walking, will still be permitted in the afternoons and evenings, although some oval lighting may not be operational at times.
This upgrade is part of the Shire’s Strategic Recreation Master Plan.
A big thank you to the Department of Local Government, Sport & Cultural Industries for their partnership in making this project possible.
