Bass Coast Shire awarded a contract to RJC Electrical Solutions Pty Ltd to carry out the Design and Construction of Oval lightings at Oval 2 Wonthaggi Recreation Reserve. This project represents yet another significant investment in sport and recreation facilities across the Shire.
This field lighting project was identified as a priority within Council’s Active Bass Coast Plan. Active Bass Coast Plans sets a 10-year Plan for the provision of open space and recreation services and facilities across the municipality.
This
project has already commenced with the design works and is anticipated that
the site establishment to be completed mid November. Council recognises
that it can be a challenge to deliver the necessary works and not affect key
recreational user groups, especially when much of our work is determined by
weather conditions and any COVID impacts. The design works are well underway,
and the delivery of lighting poles and fixtures are anticipated to be delivered
to site in early December 2022. The trenching and electrical conduit
installation works are expected to commence in mid November once the design
works completed.
