2DESIGN NOTES

Lighting and Electrical

The City of Adelaide has a unique urban design legacywith a distinctive plan which has it�s own historiccharacter and identity.

The City of Adelaide wished to complement this byhaving a vibrant and functional night timeenvironment for all users of the public realm. Thestreets and pathways are to be well lit for pedestrianand vehicular movement. The City of Adelaide wishesto enhance the unique, and not so unique (in their unlitform), aspects of built form around the City, throughthe use of light .

Some lighting policies have already been establishedand embodied in the document�Streets, Squares, and Park Lands�.

Further to this, the City of Adelaide is in the processof establishing a Lighting Strategy that will suit theCity of Adelaide.

Outcomes from this strategy that have been identified,so far, are as follows:

• A �white� light policy with the use of MetalHalide or Mercury Vapour lamps.

• The use of cut-off type (flat glass) street lightluminaires, and minimal upward light from posttop luminaires.

• The addition of under verandah lighting where averandah may obscure the footpath lighting fromthe street light luminaires.

• The current suite of post top luminaires willremain until possible changes are suggested as anoutcome of the Lighting Strategy.

• The establishment of a lighting pole suitedistinctive to the City of Adelaide is currently beingassessed.

• To facilitate and coordinate the decorative lightingof structures throughout the City these built formscan be in the form of buildings, bridges,structures, artworks, etc.

The City of Adelaide has a long term plan tounderground the electrical reticulation throughout theCity. Part of this process is to replace the existingpoles and luminaires. Vehicular and pedestrian lightingis to be designed in accordance with current AustralianStandards.

To meet the above objectives, the City of Adelaidehas established it�s own lighting and electricalstandards.

Updates, including this summary document, will occurover time.
