Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, this site attracted over 6,000 staff and visitors in FY 20-21. With many shift workers and night time visitors, it was essential for ANSTO that people walking to and around the car parks were safe and felt secure. The lack of compliant lighting created an unappealing environment and also increased the potential of collisions.
The tree canopies and underground services at the site posed potential economic and technical obstacle to the installation of new lighting.
