Background information

Reynella Oval, located on Oval Road at Old Reynella is home to various sporting clubs.

The oval currently has sports lighting, however a recent audit identified they were in poor condition, and not compliant with Australian Standards for Football training.

The Reynella Football Club (RFC) with the support of Reynella Sports and Social Club identified a need for the lighting level to be increased to 150 lux, in line with the AFL and SANFL preferred infrastructure guidelines. The upgrade will increase the flexibility of programming by increasing training duration, and the opportunity to host football night games night as well as improve spectator viewing.

The Reynella Football Club, Council and the SANFL are all contributing funding towards the new lights.
