Gladys Elphick Park, Narnungga (Park 25) – Karen Rolton Oval Lighting
1. BACKGROUND
Karen Rolton Oval located within Gladys Elphick Park Narnungga was originally developed with the objective of delivering a multi-use sports hub in the heart of the city. An upgrade of facilities, which included the construction of a new Oval Pavilion, car park and redevelopment of the main oval was completed by the SACA in January 2018. This investment by SACA was undertaken on entering a new lease (21 years + 21-year extension option) over the new pavilion and license for use of the four ovals located within Park 25.
The redevelopment forms part of a Sports and Infrastructure Master Plan for Adelaide’s west and south parklands has delivered a major recreational, sporting and natural open space, containing a mix of formal and informal sporting facilities and associated catering.
To optimise the ongoing sustainable use of the main oval, SACA is proposing the installation of oval lighting to provide some training and matches in the evening for cricket and football. The lower lux level of the lighting would exclude usage for all domestic and international cricket in the evening hours, such as the T20 World Cup, Women’s Big Bash League, Women’s National Cricket League and Sheffield Shield. Adelaide Oval will continue to be the primary site for all domestic and international cricket played under lights. However, the proposed lighting on Karen Rolton Oval will meet Cricket Australia Community Cricket Facility Guidelines for the majority of scheduled usage. Existing usage that may be accommodated under lights in future could include:
Premier Cricket
x Competition extra demands x Early and late season matches x T20 carnivals or finals
National Carnivals
x Underage National Championships x Redbacks League (senior, U18, U16, U14) x National Premier T20 Championships
Senior state carnivals
x Senior Country Cup x Independent Country Carnival x SAMCA Metropolitan Cup (Senior) x SAMCA Metropolitan Cup (Under 21)

5. DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SCHEDULE
Design of the lighting system is currently in progress and SACA is planning to appoint CME Group to undertake the detailed design and installation of the lighting system. Appointment is scheduled in early April and lighting planned for installation in October 2019, pending Development Application approval.
6. OPERATIONS
Typical proposed operating hours for lights during football season will be rotated between the back oval No 2 and Karen Rolton oval between 5pm and 8:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays for training purposes by Old Ignations Football Club. This period typically runs between April and September. There may be future opportunities to host other football carnivals and matches under lights.
Identification of cricket usage for both matches and training suitable to be played under lights is currently under review by SACA. However, the proposed operating hours for lights during cricket training would be limited to the months of September and March at the beginning of and end of the season due to bad light. There would also be opportunity for adhoc training for High performance teams to train under lights in preparation for matches played at Adelaide Oval under lights.
Potential opportunity to play matches under may include:
- Premier Cricket - Premier T20 Carnivals - National Carnivals - Senior State carnivals - Twlight T20 Multicultural - Amateur League Football - Other fee-paying sports
