Rollout of LED Street Lighting

Published 6th October 2022

Port Pirie Regional Council, in conjunction with SA Power Networks, continually make improvements to the public lighting across our council area. Council is responsible for all public lighting on local roads and the responsibility for lighting on the main road network (arterial roads) is shared with the Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).

Council, in partnership with SA Power Networks and their subsidiary company Enerven is replacing over 2,000 of our old and inefficient street lights with new LED lighting.

The project is scheduled to commence in the second week of October and is expected to be completed by the end of November 2022.

Old technology street lamps will be replaced with lower energy LED lights. Enerven will progressively replace older lights on residential streets with appropriate LEDs across the city.There are also larger lights classified as ‘Vehicular (V) road lights’ that are used on major roads, intersections and at traffic control devices (such as roundabouts and speed humps).
