Greater Shepparton City Council has announced that the construction of new lighting at the Victoria Park Lake Skate Park commenced last week, with completion expected by late March or early April 2025.
The works, undertaken by Watters Electrical, will include the installation of four lighting towers around the perimeter of the skate park, along with upgraded lighting for the shelters. The new lighting system will feature automatic controls that activate at low light levels and deactivate at predetermined times, enhancing both safety and accessibility for users.
Works will be carried out between 7.30am and 5.30pm, weather permitting. While every effort will be made to keep the skate park open throughout construction, some part day closures may be required for safety reasons. Advance notice of any closures will be provided, and users are asked to follow all on-site signage and directions.
