Municipal services—streetlighting

Mr Steel (in reply to a question by Ms Clay on Thursday, 24 November 2022):

The audit of community paths undertaken in 2021 focused on the path network infrastructure and identified defects and general asset condition. This data is being used to inform future community path improvement programs of work. This audit did not include an assessment on lighting levels of community paths, which requires a specialised skillset.

The streetlighting team also undertakes after hours assessments of lighting levels throughout parkland and walkway paths.

Lighting project examples are Elkedra Close in Hawker, Paterick Place in Holt, Mullan Street in Fadden, the stairway between Monkman Street and Ordell Street in Chapman, 800m of frequently used pathways in Banks, and the entirety of Vicars Street in Mitchell.
