The City of Cockburn recently asked Aubin Grove residents their views on lighting at Tangle Park. We received feedback from nearly 60 people, most favouring installing lights. We have listened to the community's feedback and have prepared several options, considering the available budget and best position for solar lights. We invite you to share your preferred option.

About the lights

The lights are solar-powered overhead LEDs that are designed to minimise light-spill and dim automatically at night when no motion is detected. The lights produce 180-220 lumens per watt. They will be mounted to 4.5m powder-coated black columns and angled to illuminate the footpath. Due to frequent vandalism, the City is unable to consider solar bollard lights.

    Thank you for having your say

    The City of Cockburn recently asked residents who live near Tangle Park for their views on lighting options for Tangle Park. We received feedback from 61 people. Thank you for having your say.

    What our community said

    • Most participants (75%) prefer having lights in the park.

    • Option B is the preferred design, however Option A is also favourable:

    • 43% prefer Option B as it improves playground access and overall coverage.

    • 33% prefer Option A because they prioritise adequate lighting near the Eucalypt Banksia Woodland entry.

    • Among the 25% who don’t favour lights, most are satisfied with the current lighting and don’t see a need for more.

    For more information, read the Community Feedback Summary in the Document Library.

    Next steps

    Considering the community’s feedback, the City will install a modified design, combining the most preferred aspects of Options A and B. This includes eight lights along the footpath between the playground and Banksia Eucalypt Park entry. View the final design in the Document Library.

    The City expects to install the lights in late 2023.

    Next steps

    Thank you for sharing your views on lighting at Tangle Park. Your feedback is appreciated.

    Considering the key findings, the City will request a budget for lighting in the 2023/24 financial year capital works program. The budget is subject to Council consideration and approval at a Special Council Meeting in mid-2023. Should this budget be approved, the City will prepare a lighting design for further community feedback.
