Reserve F of Sutherlands Park, located in Huntingdale, is set to receive new LED floodlights after the City of Gosnells officially awarded the installation contract last week.
Once installed, the LED floodlights will allow the Huntingdale Junior Football Club to host night games and ensure safer, more convenient evening training sessions for players.
The total cost of the project is $371,704. Of this, $117,893 is being funded through a grant from the State Government’s Club Night Lights Program, while $51,480 is being contributed by the Huntingdale Junior Football Club. The remainder is being funded by the City of Gosnells Sutherlands Park Master Plan Implementation Reserve.
Over on the other side of Sutherlands Park, decades-old lighting on Reserve C, home to the Gosnells Junior Football Club, is also expected to be upgraded in the coming years as part of the park’s redevelopment master plan.
“The floodlights on Reserve C will be installed once the reserve is reconfigured to include two full-sized ovals and when funding becomes available,” Gosnells Mayor Terresa Lynes said.
Currently, LED floodlights on Reserve A, which are adjacent to the Youth Entertainment Space under construction and the recently announced Sutherlands Park Centre, are being installed, along with new floodlights on Reserve B.
The floodlights for reserve F are expected to be installed before 30 June 2025.
