Night time make-over to illuminate city landmarks

Sydney’s most popular areas will be even more of a drawcard after dark with a new lighting plan to illuminate many of the city’s best-loved buildings and precincts.

The City of Sydney’s Lights Design Code will improve lighting for pedestrians and cyclists while extending the use of energy efficient LED lighting and highlighting the city’s unique features, buildings and spaces.

Specially designed creative lighting is planned for many of the city’s major streets, including George Street, Martin Place, Park Street, Bridge Street and Hay Street in Chinatown.

Key principles in the code include setting lighting levels and standards to promote safety, making public spaces more appealing, promoting sustainability and encouraging pedestrians and cyclists at night.

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the new lighting design code would help make Sydney a more attractive and inviting place after dark and boost local businesses by encouraging more people to visit the city at night.

“We all know how well designed lighting can transform a public building such as the QVB. This code will provide night time make-overs to other landmark buildings and public spaces and encourage activation and events,” the Lord Mayor said.

“This new lighting design code provides a detailed plan on how to use lights to make the city and its buildings, memorials and trees more beautiful at night.

“Like public art, lighting palettes can be used to make our streets more interesting, encouraging people to get around on foot and explore their city.

“We put a lot of effort into getting the best designs for all our projects and this new code will help people see our  streetscapes, monuments, parks and open spaces all looking their best at night time  too.”

The City owns and operates more than 8,500 public street lights, with another 13,500 owned and maintained by Ausgrid, many of which are directed at roadways.

As part of the lighting upgrade, the City plans to install lights to the back of Ausgrid poles to provide better and direct light onto footways. These new lights were recently trialled in Surry Hills and provided a significant improvement in footpath lighting, increasing a sense of public safety.

Property and business owners in Martin Place have expressed an interest in using lighting to showcase the street’s distinctive architectural features.

As a result, it is likely to be one of the first locations to have creative lighting installed.

Precincts where creative lighting is proposed include George Street, sections of which will become a pedestrian boulevard with the installation of light rail, Chinatown, Harbour Village North, Kings Cross, Oxford Street, and main streets in the City’s villages.

While the code provides a uniform range of lighting to be used across the city, it also envisages that specially designed light poles will be used in some places, like Prince Alfred Park and Hyde Park, which have specific characteristics that warrant individual lighting designs.

As well as improving the look of the City, the code will continue the City’s move to become more energy efficient by updating the current technical guidelines to reflect the City’s lighting sustainability LED initiatives.

In 2011, the City began rolling out Australia’s first energy efficient LED street and park lighting project to  slash carbon pollution by more over 40 per cent and deliver savings of $800,000 a year in electricity and maintenance costs.

Improving lighting quality of streets and public spaces is likely to have a positive economic impact by increasing the number of pedestrians at night and encouraging outdoor dining and other street activities.
