Help light the way for women's and junior football

As users of the ground know, the Lords oval needs better lighting to enable play and practice at night. Council is applying for the 2025-26 Country Football and Netball Program for funding to install LED lighting at the ground.

We have been working with users of the ground to plan a system that provides adequate light only to the oval and avoids impacts on nearby houses. This upgrade is a high priority for Council and will particularly benefit women's and junior football teams using the ground in the evenings.

We're now asking all community members to contribute comments and feedback to support our funding application. Projects that can show strong community support stand a better chance of getting funded. Tell us what a difference it would make for you to have better lighting at Lords!
