Grant Activity:
Cummins Courts Lights Upgrade
Purpose:
The aim of the proposed project is to upgrade and replace old court lighting and provide more energy efficient, stronger LED lighting as well as rewiring the damaged, old wiring to the light poles. The Cummins Courts Lights Upgrade aims to improve the lights energy efficiency, reduce energy use, which will in turn mean significant reduction in monetary outlay to the four joint sporting clubs involved.
This expression of interest is being sought by the Cummins Tennis Club, on behalf of the 4 local sporting clubs who are jointly responsible to the repairs, maintenance and upgrade of the Cummins Courts and Lights facilities. This group includes the Cummins Tennis Club, Cummins & District Basketball Association, Cummins Kapinnie Netball Club and Cummins Rambler Netball Club.
The Cummins Courts includes 10 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts and 4 netball courts, of which there are 6 tennis courts, 2 basketball courts and 4 netball courts which currently have lighting. There are 6 light towers and 8 lights which illuminate the courts.
The majority of the current lights were installed in 2002 and so are close to 20 years old. In November 2019, two of the old light bulbs wore out (one actually exploded while in use during basketball, which was extremely dangerous). As they were on the same light tower and were urgently needed for the continuation of competition at night for tennis and basketball, the four users groups had to immediately provide funds of $7,410 to upgrade the wiring and installed an energy efficient LED floodlight so that the Summer competitions could continue uninterrupted.
The current old globes are expensive to replace and the wiring is rapidly coming to its shelf life, meaning that regular and costly repairs are often necessary.
As a combined group we were recently able to access a grant of $3,348 from the District Council Of Lower Eyre Peninsula (with the extra cost of $5,020 provided by the four clubs), which enabled the rewiring of two light towers
