A $289,200 contract has been awarded to DeAraugo and Lea Electrical Contractors Pty Ltd for a significant lighting upgrade at Tatura Park’s Western Oval. This project, funded by the Regional Community sports Infrastructure Fund, involves the installation of four new light poles with 100 LUX LED lighting, aimed at enhancing the currently inadequate winter training conditions for Australian Rules football. The improved lighting will not only support various sports activities, including football, cricket, and community events but will also promote increased community engagement and attract major events to the Greater Shepparton area. Council officials have expressed enthusiasm for the upgrade, recognizing its potential to transform the oval into a multipurpose facility vital for local sporting and community activities. Timelines and coordination with stakeholders to minimize disruptions during construction are currently being discussed.
