Street Lighting

The provision of street lighting is an important element in any community. In this regard Council works closely with energy provider, Integral Energy.

Each month Council pays a bill of around $100,000 for the provision of street lighting. Of this about $30,000 is the actual electricity bill. As there are no meters on the street lights Council is charged a flat rate.

In the interests of safety it is very important that all residents keep an eye out for and report street lights that are not working.

If you notice that a street light has been damaged or needs a new bulb there are two ways you can have the situation fixed.

Integral Energy has a comprehensive website which has an online form specifically for reporting street lights that are out. All you need to do is complete the details on the form and submit it. A return notice will be sent to you acknowledging your request. Alternatively, you can phone Integral Energy on 131 003 to report a damaged street light or fax 02 9831 9089.

You can also contact Council's Traffic and Parking section on 9843 0243 and the information will be forwarded to Integral Energy for you.

If you require further information on street lights and public lighting contact Council's Traffic and Parking Team on 9843 0243 or email: council@thehills.nsw.gov.au
