Lighting at Malvern Cricket Ground

We’ve upgraded the lighting at Malvern Cricket Ground by replacing the existing towers with four new 25-metre LED lighting towers.

We did this to:  

• provide safer access to and from the sports facilities in the evening and after dark 
• give people more opportunities to enjoy the oval for sport, recreation and exercising their dogs 
• encourage people of all genders to participate in lacrosse and cricket. 

Key features of the lighting include: 

• energy-efficient LED lighting that meets Australian standards 
• controlled timing and ability to automatically turn lights off so they don’t stay on after our nominated hours (Monday to Friday, 5 pm to 9 pm between April and September).

This may change slightly based on the sports clubs’ allocated times at the oval.

Timelines

Works started in February 2026 and were completed in August 2026.
