Cottesloe Junior Football Club has successfully secured a Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grant through the Club Night Lights Program to deliver upgraded sports lighting at Cottesloe Oval.

The new lighting will significantly improve visibility and safety, while enabling greater year-round use of the oval. The Town would like to advise the community that ground works for this project will commence this week.

The oval will remain open throughout the upgrade, with some areas temporarily fenced off to ensure public safety. Works have been carefully scheduled to minimise disruption to the sporting season. Installation of the new light poles and electrical infrastructure is scheduled for mid-April, with project completion expected by late April. Existing lighting will remain operational until the new system has been fully commissioned.

During the works, there may be temporary disruptions including noise, machinery and truck movements, as well as minor changes to access. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this time.

This upgrade represents a long-term investment in our local facilities, delivering improved lighting outcomes for sporting clubs, supporting the growing participation of junior and female players, and enhancing the experience for dog walkers and all oval users.
