July 16th, 2022New lights for Lancefield

The Lancefield Tigers Football Netball Club can now play and train day and night thanks to the completion of the upgraded oval lighting at Lancefield Park.
Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas announced the official launch as well as the ‘flicking the switch’ of the upgraded lighting at the popular ground, made possible by a $209,520 funding boost from the Victorian Government.
Sport is the lifeblood of regional communities. Up until recently the 530 members of the Tigers senior and junior clubs were limited in their ability to train and compete due to poor venue lighting. The project installed four new lighting towers and 100 lux lighting, allowing the Tigers to maximise its use of the oval. The upgraded lighting also opens-up the park to more night-time events such as markets and community celebrations, including the Lancefield Agricultural Show, Lancefield Swap Meet and the Macedon Ranges Relay for Life.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas: “For too long clubs like the Tigers have been left in the dark due to outdated lighting facilities – they deserve appropriate facilities they can be proud of.
“The upgraded sports lighting at Lancefield Park provides a real incentive for local clubs to ramp up training and development and for locals to join in the fun.
“Better sport and recreation facilities make it easier for Victorians to get back to local sport and recreation and lead healthy and active lifestyles.”
