The City of Swan and Western Power maintain a significant network of lighting across roads, parks, pathways and public spaces. Lighting is provided where appropriate to support safe access and use, including in areas with high levels of activity. Appropriately lit public spaces help create more opportunities for people to stay active beyond daylight hours.
The benefits go beyond physical activity, although kids (and adults) will never forget training under floodlights in a downpour. Parks and other public spaces are where neighbours meet, friendships grow and communities connect. Lighting supports a greater sense of safety and confidence when using public spaces after dark. Well-designed and working lighting helps people better see their surroundings and encourages more activity in public spaces, creating neighbourhoods that feel like community.
By maintaining lighting locally, we’re helping residents make the most of the early evenings and enjoy more time outdoors all year long. For ideas of what you can explore and do, visit the Explore and Do section of our website.
To report streetlight faults, contact Western Power on 1800 622 008 or for City of Swan parks and reserves contact (08) 9267 9267.
