The Shire of Murray officially unveiled the Sir Ross McLarty Oval lighting on Saturday 6 July 2024.

Shire President, David Bolt, said the new $200k LED lighting will create better sporting experiences with lighting that meets sporting standards, is energy efficient and needs less maintenance supporting local sporting teams.

“At the Shire of Murray, our Council Plan sets five priority aspirations – one of these being ‘People’. This means we are working to deliver outcomes that enable an active and healthy community. The unveiling of this new LED lighting in Pinjarra supports this aspiration,” said Mr Bolt.

“Sport facilities are a fundamental part of our local community. Their importance cannot be underestimated as they offer a place for people to come together and connect over shared interests; providing vast benefits to local residents’ mental and physical wellbeing.”

“The new lighting at Sir Ross McLarty Oval provides enhanced safety and enables more access to the precinct for our local community.”

The Sir Ross McLarty Oval is home to a number of sporting groups including the Pinjarra Football and Netball club.

The project was funded by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, Alcoa, and the Shire of Murray.
