Hagley Oval lights
For those who have a strong opinion one way or another, here is your chance to have your say on the proposed lights at Hagley Oval.
Consultations open now till 18 Nov 2019. All details are on council website. There is also a chance to talk to the team and find out exactly where each lighting tower is proposed to go and ask the team any questions you might have. [4th Nov, 6.30 pm]
[My note: 18 Nov is the day after a 3-day long show weekend. Therefore, please put your submissions in before the show weekend.]
