Upcoming Webinar: Relighting Pedestrian Crossings

Join Leadsun's Business Development Manager, Stuart Templeman for an essential presentation on the latest changes to AS/NZS 1158.4 and what they mean for local governments.

Pedestrian crossing compliance is changing

With the 2024 revision, the shift to LED lighting, and growing concerns around non-compliance, upgrading and assessing crossings is now essential.

Facilitated by SLSC, this not-to-be-missed session will cover:

  • What’s changed in the standard;
  • Where legacy lighting falls short; and
  • How smart controls can improve performance, reduce excess lighting, and enable real-time monitoring.

21 May, 12pm – 1:30pm AEDT$150 +GST (IPWEA Members: $100 +GST)

About SALC

The IPWEA Street Lighting and Smart Controls (SLSC) program accelerates the deployment of energy-efficient LED streetlights across Australia and New Zealand. By replacing legacy infrastructure, the initiative helps local councils, road authorities, and utilities cut energy use and maintenance costs by over 50%. This large-scale transition serves as a critical, cost-effective step for municipalities aiming to reduce public expenditure and meet regional net-zero carbon targets.

The program drives the adoption of Central Management Systems (CMS) to enable remote monitoring, automatic fault detection, and adaptive dimming. IPWEA provides asset managers with standardised Model Technical Specifications, business case templates, and specialized training to de-risk procurement. This transforms standard lighting networks into a future-proof digital backbone capable of supporting smart city technologies like environmental sensors and traffic counters.


The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) is the peak professional association for people involved in public works and infrastructure across Australia, New Zealand and beyond. It supports professionals who plan, deliver, manage and operate essential community infrastructure such as roads, water systems, parks, buildings and more.

In recent times, the organisation has expanded its traditional local government engineering focus to broader public works, covering all tiers of government as well as the private sector, which comprises 40% of IPWEA membership.

We are a proud member of IPWEA partaking in multiple conferences, presentations and webinars each year.
