1.0 Introduction
The intent of this document is to provide guidance to designers and the land development
industry regarding the requirements for public lighting within road reserves as well as processes
in Melton Shire Council.
Council’s role with respect to public lighting has increased in recent times, from a passive one
where we just paid for the electricity consumed and the maintenance charges, to a more active
role. That is, with the growing number of decorative public lighting fixtures available, it is
Council’s role to manage and approve these assets with a view to providing a sense of place for
the community whilst minimising the cost impost associated with maintenance of these Council
owned assets.
Council is also required to nominate a public lighting category for all installations and assess
public lighting plans to ensure there is adequate illuminance to meet the needs of all road users
whilst taking into account the different land uses adjoining the road reserve.
Lowering greenhouse gas emission in connection with public lighting is a key driver both for
Council and the land development industry and therefore energy efficient lamps are
encouraged.
Council’s Public Lighting Policy and Australian Standards (AS 1158) as well as other documents
referred to in Section 2.0 must be considered in conjunction with these guidelines.

3.0 Public lighting components
Street lighting in local and sub-arterial roads contain fundamentally the same basic components
as shown in figure 1.
Figure 1 – Street lighting components
3.1 Types of Luminaires and lamps:
The type of lamp and luminaire must comply with Melton Council’s current Public
lighting policy. Council only approves lamps and luminaires that have an OMR status
with the relevant Electrical Distribution Business. The following are examples of lamps
and luminaires that are either approved or not approve by Council.
80 Watt mercury vapour lamps are no longer used for new developments.
Council may allow decorative lamps and luminaires within Activity Centres nominated in
Precinct Structure Plans.

Slip-based and Impact-absorbing poles are to be used only on Arterial Roads. Also,
where there is high pedestrian activity, only Impact-absorbing poles can be used.

13.0 Public lighting in rural roads
There are no specific public lighting standards for rural roads. Council will need to be contacted
to determine where street lighting is required, the location of any dedicated public lighting
poles, the category and any other requirements. The guiding principle that Council will consider
is safety of road users, in particular at road intersections, bends and other areas where night
visibility is required to negotiate the section of road.
