Double de-light for town ovals
30 Jun 2025Lighting for the main ovals at both Nuriootpa Centennial Park and Angas Recreation Park will be upgraded thanks to the combined efforts of two of the region’s greatest sporting rivals.
Nuriootpa Rover Football Club and Angaston Football Club have secured grant funding through various channels, including the recently announced $237,095 from the Office for Recreation Sport and Racing 2024/ 25 Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program.
When added to contributions made from SANFL, South Australian Cricket Association and Council, plus those from both footy clubs, the successful collaboration will see the two sites brightened with 300 lux lighting. Mayor Lange said the projects will be packaged into one program of works to achieve efficiencies and cost savings.
“This is indeed critical infrastructure that is essential for the safety and progress of our sporting clubs,” he said of the upgrades.
It’s also another great example of how working together in partnership can achieve significant outcomes for our community
We will be releasing a tender for the project in the coming weeks, with construction scheduled for the summer of 2025/26.
