Whatawhata Country Tennis Club Light Upgrades
Project objective
The Tennis Club currently has four halogen flood lights. These have exceeded their lifespan and are starting to fail. The project purpose is to upgrade the current flood lights with an LED alternative.Project update
After regularly sharing updates throughout this journey, I’m thrilled to say this is the final one - the wait is over! 😊
The Whatawhata Tennis Court Lighting Project is now complete!
Work completed since the last update….
1. The 63A outlet and the 10A outlets have now been fitted with padlocks for security purposes. These can be opened by Council staff for public events requiring temporary power access, such as PA systems and similar equipment.
2. The grassed area near the service entranceway has now been reinstated.
3. Pole foundation works have been completed, including reinstatement of the surrounding turf.
The light testing and lux mapping completed on Monday night exceeded expectations and surpassed the original design requirements.
We’re now preparing for an opening and celebration ceremony, scheduled for Tuesday, 19 May 2026 at 6:00 PM.
With guidance from mana whenua, the event will include a Karakia to observe tikanga and appropriately mark the occasion. A calendar invite with full details will follow shortly.
