Court Lighting and Planning Consent in Adelaide

What tennis court resurfacing in Adelaide actually involves

The report also records conditions for that application: that lighting is switched off, and remains off, between 10:00pm and sunrise the following day, and that light spill levels are not more than 5 Lux when measured at the window of any adjacent dwelling. They were conditions for one site, not a rule for yours.

Lights in a resurfacing job

The City of Mitcham's page reports that, under a State Government grant, three courts at Reade Park will be resurfaced, fitted with new lighting and enclosed with replacement fencing. Lights and a fence can sit in the same job as the surface, which makes them a question for a quote.

What we cannot say

Whether resurfacing alone needs approval was not established: no official page read says so. Ask your council before changing lights or fencing, and ask the provider whether a quote includes either.

The light-spill condition in the Holdfast Bay report is measured at the window of an adjacent dwelling, which is a reminder that a court's neighbours are part of a lighting question and not of a recoat. The Colonel Light Gardens page has the Mitcham line, and the rules check on the costs page has the Holdfast Bay one with its read date.

Court Lighting and Planning Consent in Adelaide — common questions

Do court lights need planning consent?

In one City of Holdfast Bay assessment panel report, tennis court lights and posts were listed as Code Assessed - Performance Assessed and went to public notification. That was one application; ask your council about yours.

What conditions did the council apply?

For that application, that lighting is switched off, and remains off, between 10:00pm and sunrise the following day, and that light spill levels are not more than 5 Lux when measured at the window of any adjacent dwelling. They are not a rule for another court.

Does resurfacing alone need approval?

Not established. No official page read says whether it does, so this site states no rule. Ask your council.
