The Greater Shepparton City Council has awarded a $289,200 contract to DeAraugo and Lea Electrical Contractors Pty Ltd for a lighting upgrade at Tatura Park’s Western Oval, as announced during the October Council Meeting. The project will involve the installation of four new light poles equipped with 100 LUX LED sports field lighting, addressing the current inadequate lighting conditions for winter Australian Rules football training. This upgrade aims to enhance the oval’s multifunctional capabilities, supporting various activities such as cricket training and community events, while also attracting major events to the region. Funded through the Regional Community Sports Infrastructure Fund, the improvement is expected to foster greater community engagement, health, and economic opportunities in Tatura and surrounding areas.
