About this project
We're upgrading the lighting at Beechworth's Baarmutha Park to AFL standards and replacing the halogen lights with LED.
Why is this project being undertaken?
The upgrade will bring the facility up to AFL standards for competition and will encourage more participation by offering enhanced playing conditions for footballers as well as cricketers.
How is it being funded?
This project is being funded through Sport and Recreation Victoria’s 2022 Local Sport Infrastructure Fund Community Facilities Stream.

What is happening and when?
Works commenced in March and scheduled to be completed by 30 June 2024.
What will be the impact of these works?
The existing oval lighting will remain operational, until the new lights have been installed and commissioned, at which point the existing floodlighting infrastructure will be decommissioned. All construction activities will be coordinated in consultation with representatives of the relevant clubs to minimise disruption during this period.

Site works to prepare for the new floodlights are scheduled to begin next week.
The works, which include trenching, underground electrical works, pit installation and laying of the pole foundations will take approximately four weeks before the new lights are installed in June.
