The Bayside Community Sports Centre in Sandringham, Victoria is a state-of-the-art sporting facility developed through a collaboration across all levels of government. Advanced Lighting Technologies supplied the flexible, modular Arianna Petrarca LED Floodlight as part of the development.
The Facility
Located at the Holloway Road campus of Sandringham College, the Bayside Community Sports Centre (BCSC) officially opened in 2024. The new facility represents Bayside City Council’s largest investment in community sport to date, with over $18 million spent on the project, supported by a $4.7 million Federal Government grant and built in collaboration with the Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA). The Bayside District Netball Association (BDNA) operates the facility, which serves 12 local clubs.
Advanced Lighting Technologies were engaged by Cortese Consultants to provide a lighting solution at Bayside Community Sports Centre. The site presented several unique challenges that needed to be addressed during the design phase, including a non-symmetrical court layout.
We supplied the Arianna Petrarca LED Floodlight – a flexible and modular area lighting solution capable of delivering up to 180,000 lumens through patented reflection optics that offer high efficiency, uniformity and visual comfort.
As part of the commissioning process, we also completed an onsite lighting audit, which confirmed compliance across all courts was achieved to Australian Standard AS 2560.2:2021 for Netball (mid-level local and regional competition).
Compliance with AS/NZS 4282:2019 was also achieved where needed, with Arianna’s advanced full cut-off optical system precisely directing light only where it’s needed, with zero light emitted upwards. The luminaire’s low-glare design minimises disruption to nearby properties and passing drivers on nearby Holloway Road.
