Junction Oval
Lighting the home of cricket in Victoria
Also known as the St Kilda Cricket Ground, Junction Oval is a renowned sports ground in Melbourne, Australia. After a landmark redevelopment completed in 2018, Junction Oval is now a state-of-the-art facility and home to the administrative base for Cricket Victoria. A project by COX Architecture, Arup Engineering, Cockram Construction and NUVO Electrical, L&T was thrilled to work on such an iconic project.
The façade lighting is the hero of the new complex at dusk and in the evenings, and it was important that the main building, grounds and historic Blackie-Ironmonger stand were highlighted. L&T facilitated and supplied the lighting to the Junction Oval grounds, heritage stand, reception and lobby, public car park, street lighting, café/dining, gymnasium and product and memorabilia display.
Facilitating a complex project with huge success
Working alongside Cox and Unios, we developed a minimalistic street light that could be surface and pole-mounted to the exterior wicket, eastern berm, public entry and carpark. With time constraints and a grand opening date, our project facilitation ensured that the bespoke fitting was approved and installed within a matter of months, and with great success.
With lots of residential homes overlooking the oval, it was crucial that the balance of light and dark was executed according to plan. The management of this element of the lighting prompted letters of thanks from local residence and words of encouragement and gratitude from staff and visitors. L&T is proud to have delivered the lighting package on time and within budget for one of Australia’s most iconic sporting grounds.
