Jubilee lights set to gain approval
Kogarah Councillors are expected to grant approval on Monday evening to the Development Application (DA) for upgraded floodlighting at Oki Jubilee Stadium.
Council Officers have recommended that the DA be approved as the proposal has satisfied all sections of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act and Council codes and policies.
In addition to the petition against the lights that was signed by seven residents of a block of units in Carlton's Buchanan Street, there were only four other submissions against the DA. The objections raised through these submissions have been regarded as less than relevant, with one submission failing to raise any specific issues against the lighting itself.
Kogarah Council has formally recognised the R2K petition that gained 1,304 signatures in support of the lighting, including 344 from Kogarahs North Ward where Oki Jubilee Stadium is situated.
Council noted that the petition revealed strong support of the proposed lighting and refurbishment of Jubilee Oval. Council also stated that judging from the responses received by Council, the majority of local residents are in support of such an application.
When night matches are staged at Oki Jubilee Stadium, the playing lights will be turned off within 30 minutes of the completion of the match, while strict traffic management and security management plans will be followed. Once installed, the light towers will be painted in a neutral colour to blend into the sky rather than with a blood and bandages theme!
The meeting takes place at Kogarah Councils chambers this Monday (14 February) at 7 pm.
