Draft Maroondah Public Lighting Policy 2018

Consultation has now closed and we thankyou for your feedback. All submissions received will be reviewed and a final report presented to Council for their consideration. Further updates will be provided on this page as they become available.
Background:
In response to your feedback on our Draft Public Lighting Policy, in particular the policy position of replacing non-standard decorative street lights with standard street lights, Council commissioned Ironbark Consultancy to examine possible alternatives or solutions regarding this issue and to identify any potential changes that could be made to our draft policy position.
We are seeking your feedback on the consultants reports, which can be found in the Document Library on this page. Item 5 of the Decorative Lighting Overview relates to recommended draft policy changes, and identifies further actions to be carried out by Council before a final policy position is developed.
The Environmental Impacts Overview addresses feedback in relation to types of lighting, and the impacts this may have on our plants and animals as well as the health of human beings. The report also identifies potential changes to the draft policy position.
