THE installation of new light towers has been completed at Vibert Reserve on Archer Street in Shepparton, meaning the southern half of the reserve will be better illuminated.
The new lighting will allow local clubs to expand their use of the sporting hub, particularly for the increased participation in soccer, cricket and rugby.
Greater Shepparton City Council director of infrastructure, Phil Hoare said, “It is great to see another sporting field upgraded with quality lighting in response to significant demand within the community for extended access to this facility.
“The new lighting will enable year-round access to playing fields in the southern end of Shepparton allowing for a greater number of training events and social games in our community.
“This is an excellent result for many users that play sport at this facility and we thank the clubs for their cooperation and assistance in achieving this great outcome.”
According to Council, funding for the new lighting aligns with the 2017-2021 Council Plan to assist in attracting major events to Greater Shepparton. Council received funding from the State Government as part of the World Games Facilities Fund.
