CITY OF FREMANTLE LIGHTING STRATEGY REPORT INTRODUCTION In 1999, the City of Fremantle had a “Security Risk Management Study” prepared by Corpsec International Pty. Ltd. The City’s Director Urban Management subsequently prepared a report “Safety and Security within the City of Fremantle”. The City has an area of 18.7 sq.km with 176 km of sealed roads, and a population of 24 276 in 11 216 dwellings. This report excludes land controlled by the Fremantle Port Authority (Rous Head and the Inner Harbour) and by the Department of Transport (Fishing Boat Harbour including Mews Road). This Lighting Strategy Report recommends light-technical parameters such as lighting levels, uniformities and colours. The Lighting Strategy Report also suggests means of achieving the light technical parameters and submits schedules of cost estimates. While illustrations of typical lighting hardware are submitted, definitive specification of light fittings, poles and other hardware is suggested when the installation of lighting is being designed and documented. In particular, this Lighting Strategy Report is in response to the City Of Fremantle Purchase Order 14990 and our proposal of 6 October 2000. BASIS The Lighting Master Plan is based on the following sources:

AS/NZS1158.3.1:1999 Pedestrian area lighting

AS/NZS1158.1:1997 Roadlighting

Perth Metropolitan Area Functional Road Hierarchy

AS2890.1:1993 Off road Car Parks

Fremantle City Centre Urban Design Strategy – August 1996

City Of Fremantle: Safety and Security within the City of Fremantle 29/09/99

Corpsec: Security Risk Management Study - March 1999

Discussions with Geoff Broad, Ian James and Geoff Webster of the City of Fremantle and in particular comments received from Ian James (31-1-01) and Geoff Webster (6-2-01).

An outline of the Australian Standards is contained in Appendix D along with comparable British and American standards.

The Corpsec Report (1999) mentions poor lighting, light level readings of zero, trees obstructing light, light not being directed on to pedestrian paths, and the direct positive correlations between the amount of lighting and the amount of crime.

An extract of the report is contained in Appendix J.

The report on Safety and Security with the City of Fremantle (1999) supports the Corpsec Report, reports on the “Safer Cities by Design Conference” and mentions Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).

Under the heading “Lighting Strategy”, the report recommends a Lighting Study, vegetation management, maintenance of streetlighting, directing light to pedestrian areas, and upgrading of streetlights to Australian Standards preferably with “white light”.

An extract of the report is contained in Appendix K.

The Urban Design Strategy (1996) makes frequent mention of lighting and contains recommendations to improve the quality and quantity of lighting, and to provide “priority night routes for pedestrians”.

An extract of the report is contained in Appendix L.

EXISTING LIGHTING

Most of the existing lighting is provided by Western Power by means of steel poles where power is underground and streetlights on timber power poles where power is overhead. The lamps are predominantly mercury vapour with some high pressure sodium.

Parts of the city centre have old “Novalux” streetlights, mostly with 250W mercury vapour lamps. Some Holophane “Granville” streetlights have been installed as replacements of the “Novalux” streetlights. See figures G1 and G2. The City has purchased a stock of old City of Perth Novalux luminaires and poles. The original Novalux luminaires had glass bowls, but with breakages over the years, these bowls have been replaced with two piece acrylic bowls of poor integrity. In Collie Street, 150W metal halide Bega 8201 indirect streetlights have been installed. These have proved successful in providing soft, glare-free, white light with a contemporary appearance. Their construction is inherently less vulnerable to vandalism as there is no exposed glass or plastic. Some car parks have been lit with three armed light poles with “well glass” luminaires with small shades. These carpark lights are glary and not very effective.

Many roads in the City Centre are lit with Western Power high pressure sodium streetlights on 10.5m or 12.5m poles. These streetlights are suitable for vehicular routes but not for the city centre where tall poles are out of proportion and the yellow light inappropriate for commerce and security.

Western Power have generally installed suburban lighting to what they term “half standard” that is they have installed half the number of streetlights required by category B2 of the superseded AS1158. Typically, 80W mercury vapour streetlights have been mounted at a height of 7.5m on each second power pole (that is every four house blocks or about 80m spacing). In fact, this does not give half the standard, but lights half of the length of the road and leaves half in the dark. Western Power in recent years have embarked on a bulk Globe Replacement (BGR) program offering local government a four year replacement cycle. Typically a mercury vapour lamp has depreciated to 70% of its initial output after 4 years. TREES

Trees often conflict with streetlighting. Australian Standards recommend ignoring trees for calculations for compliance but this is of course unrealistic. Conventionally, streetlights are installed on power poles on the same alignment allocated to trees, that is 2.7m from the property boundary. With underground power, streetlights have been mounted 1m from the kerb with a 1.5m outreach on a 6.5m pole. The shape, height, and density of foliage determine the amount of shadowing. Dense low foliage casts shadows on the footpath rendering lighting ineffective for personal safety. Underpruning of trees to provide a high canopy should be encouraged.

LIGHTING AND CRIME Recent British research 1 has shown that public lighting improvements result in a reduction of crime. This research further indicates a diffusion of benefits rather than a displacement of crime. This means that lighting improvements reduce crime in surrounding areas rather than displacing crime from the well-lit area to areas with poor lighting. In Western Australia, research findings 2 indicate most people are afraid to go out after dark. Other research 3 in WA indicates that most people prefer to be in well-lit areas at night. Recent research 4, mainly in North America, is indicating that increasing light levels increases energy costs but does not necessarily lead to better vision. Rather, the indications are that better colour, reduced glare and good uniformity can offer better vision, in other words the quality of lighting is as important as the quantity of lighting. LIGHT ON FACES For a feeling of safety, it is important to light people’s faces. Most lighting standards, however, prescribe lighting levels on a horizontal plane. For recognition of faces at 4 meters, 0.8 lux (semi-cylindrical) was found satisfactory in research 5 conducted some years ago in the Netherlands. The new AS/NZ1158.3.1: 1999 recognises the need for light on faces by recommending vertical, in addition to horizontal lighting levels. To achieve adequate lighting on faces, luminaires should not be too far apart, light should not be obstructed and the shielding angle from reflectors or shades should allow light to reach faces. WHITE LIGHT The Corpsec Report recommends “white light” and this is repeated in the City’s report on Safety and Security. White light aids the accurate identification of colours of skin tones, clothing and vehicles by observers from the community as well as security personnel. High-pressure sodium lamps produce yellow light and have enjoyed popularity because of their apparent high efficacy. This apparent efficacy is based on the high sensitivity of the eye to yellow light under day (i.e. photopic) vision. While metal-halide lamps 6 appear to have lower efficacy than high-pressure sodium lamps, under night vision research concludes that metal-halide lamps are about twice as effective as high-pressure sodium lamps. A recent article7 by Dr A.J. Fisher recommends that at the lower lightings, say Category P4 and P5, the published light output of high pressure sodium lamps should be derated by a factor of 0.75. Further research8 indicates that red and green light with an absence of yellow light provides “visual clarity”. Red and green cells in the eye are responsible for hue contrast and luminance contrast, and for fine spatial detail. Yellow light inhibits the red and green cells. In an article in Security Management December 1994, Henri Bérubé (a constable with the Peel Regional Police Department, Brampton Ontario) recommends the use of “white light” to bring people into an area for commercial or recreational activities. He further recommends “white light” to enable witnesses to identify suspicious activities and malfeasants and to provide an accurate description of the perpetrator.

According to an article in the New Yorker of June 1993 about 40th Street in New York City, where streetlighting was changed from high-pressure sodium to metal-halide, patrons would find themselves “standing straighter and breathing more slowly”. Pedestrians also reported moving more leisurely and stepping more frequently into local shops. White light may be defined as having a colour temperature above 2 700K and a colour rendering index (Ra8) of 70 or better. White light can be offered by the following lamp technologies:

fluorescent

metal-halide

deluxe high pressure sodium, or sodium-xenon ENVIRONMENT While the primary environmental concern for lighting is the energy consumption, a secondary concern is the disposal of lamps that contain mercury, In many states of North America, mercury is not welcome at land fill sites. In Germany all lamps are recycled. Modern fluorescent lamps have about 1mg of mercury as opposed to 30mg in older lamps. 80 W mercury vapour lamps contain 14 mg of mercury compared to 4.5 mg in the competing 42 W compact fluorescent lamp. Low mercury lamps and responsible disposal are recommended. STANDARDS In recent years the Australian Standard for roadlighting has changed. In 1997, a new standard AS/NZS 1158.1 was published covering “Category V” lighting for vehicular routes e.g. freeways and highways. In 1999, a new standard AS/NZS 1158.3.1 was published covering “Category P” lighting for pedestrian areas. The AS/NZS 1158.1.1997 Category V lighting is a development of the previous AS1158-1986 Category A lighting, and differences are in the detail. The AS/NZS 1158.3.1 Category P lighting is a fundamental change from the old AS1158-1986 Categories B & C lighting. The new standard has many more categories and takes into account: vehicular movement; risk of crime; and need to enhance prestige. It also includes requirements for vertical illumination at face level. The new standards quote “maintained” illumances that is the light level at the end of the lighting maintenance cycle. Previously Australian Standards had quoted “initial” illuminances with advice that lighting should be maintained so that values did not drop below 70% of the initial values. The current AS1158 is summarised in Appendix D

UNIFORMITY

For good visibility, uniformity is as important as the amount of light. High average lighting levels with poor uniformity costs more to run and offers lower visibility than lower levels with good uniformity.

For outdoor lighting, it is now the practice to nominate a minimum average level, minimum level and uniformity in terms of maximum to average. The minimum level establishes a uniformity with respect to the average level. The maximum to average uniformity is specified to avoid “hotspots” i.e. areas of excessive illuminance relative to the average. GLARE Glare is caused by light in one’s eye instead of on the subject. Glare causes visual discomfort and visual disability to people and tends to disable any security cameras. Glare is of particular concern to the aged and to persons with vision disabilities. On security video systems, a bright light source can cause “white out” in the vicinity of the bright source, if not strategically placed. In an attempt to achieve some compliance with excessive streetlight spacing, manufacturers have developed streetlights that direct light at high angles close to the horizontal. The result is high glare, obtrusive light and poor visibility. Local government often receives complaints from residents of streetlights being too bright and preventing sleep. The installation of “house-side shields” results. These shields often cost more than the original streetlight, without considering the administration costs. On 5-11-2001 AS/NZ1158.3.1 will no longer accept such streetlights by limiting the intensities at 90o and 80o above the vertical. Limiting these high angle intensities, for instance by screening lamps, reduces glare. LAMP TECHNOLOGY Mercury vapour lamps are simple reliable technology, but the energy efficiency (around 50 lumens/watt) is poor when considered against modern lamp technology. The colour is blue-white and weak in the red part of the spectrum, thus rendering skin tones poorly. The disposal of mercury vapour lamps is considered a serious problem in developed countries. In North America mercury vapour lamps are not welcome in landfill sites. In Germany all lamps have to be returned for recycling. On the grounds of environmental responsibility we do not recommend the use of mercury vapour lamps in new installations. Fluorescent lamps have been used for public lighting with limited success in the past. The advent of compact fluorescent lamps about fifteen years ago has presented a challenge to the traditional mercury vapour lamp. For instance, a 26 W compact fluorescent lamp can now replace a 50 W mercury vapour lamp and a 42 W compact fluorescent lamp, an 80 W. A disadvantage has been the shorter life of the fluorescent lamp, being 8000 hours (about two years) against the 24 000 hours (about six years) of the mercury lamp. The life of fluorescent lamps is now being extended to 10 000 hours (about 2½ years) by the use of electronic control gear. Mercury lamps age rapidly and produce a fraction of their light output near the end of life. While lamp replacement costs cannot be ignored, in lighting economics, it is the energy costs that predominate. The fluorescent lamp offers “white light” with excellent colour rendering of red, blues and greens. Modern compact fluorescent lamps now outperform mercury lamps in terms of colour, and efficiency and useful life is being extended.

A development of the fluorescent lamp is the Induction lamp (Philips QL and Osram Endura). These lamps offer the colour and efficacy of fluorescent lamps with extremely long lamp life of about 60 000 hours or 15 years. These lamps are very expensive. Metal-halide lamps have been developed over the last decades and offer energy efficiencies of around 80 lumens/watt with excellent colour rendering giving “white light”. The strong blue and green component makes them particularly well suited to night vision. The City of Toronto has changed over to this technology. The Lighting Strategy for the City of Perth has designated this lamp for Perth’s “White Light”. An example of the implementation of this is the Eastern Gateway to Perth where the Great Eastern Highway passes Burswood. Metal-halide lamps have suffered from short life of about 6 000 hours (1½ years) but developments in recent years have extended life to 12 000 hours for low wattage lamps (3 years) and up to 20 000 hours (5 years) for larger wattage lamps. For main routes Western Power and Main Roads WA have used high-pressure sodium lamps. These have a distinctive golden colour. High-pressure sodium lamps have good energy efficiency, around 100 lumens/watt. Recent lamps are available free of mercury at a price premium. The colour rendition of high-pressure sodium lamps is poor. The colour is warm but does not render blue and green (eg vegetation) very well. Recent research shows that at low light levels the deficiency in blue and green renders these lamps less effective in providing good night vision. A development of the high pressure sodium lamp is the sodium-xenon lamp, Osram DS “Citylight”. This is a mercury free lamp driven by electronic control gear allowing dimming to half output to save energy say at midnight. The colour is improved with a colour temperature of 2 800K instead of the 2 300K for ordinary high pressure sodium. While very expensive, some versions of the lamp offer a switching to a low level for late night lighting. For instance an 80 W lamp may be switched to 50 W at midnight. These lamps are at present subject to a recall by Osram and cannot be recommended until Osram have completed investigations. Appendix N “LAMP OPTIONS” compares various lamp technologies. SOLAR POWERED LIGHTING Solar powered lighting is available but is expensive in terms of capital and running costs. Solar powered lighting requires a solar panel, battery charger, battery and inverter. The batteries, either lead-acid or nickel-cadmium, are expensive and need to be replaced every few years. Solar powered lighting is economic if the source of power is remote, say several hundred metres. The cost of cabling to a conventional light may then exceed the additional cost of the solar powered light. ECONOMY The cost of lighting comprises energy costs, lamp replacement costs and the capital cost. Generally, energy costs predominate over the other costs. The cost of energy can be reduced by avoiding excessive lighting levels, and by the use of effective lamps, optical systems, and electrical switching or control systems. LIGHTING CONTROL Historically in Western Australia streetlighting has been switched on at dusk and switched off at midnight or 1.15 a.m. In most areas “all night” lighting is now the norm. This control regime can be easily arranged with a photoelectric switch on each streetlight.

OBTRUSIVE LIGHT Obtrusive light is spill light that causes annoyance, distraction, discomfort or reduction in vision. Obtrusive light from streetlights is covered by AS1158, and from other lighting installations (e.g. sport, industry, advertising) by AS4282. Of particular concern to the City should be the avoidance of obtrusive light to navigation in the river and harbours. Navigation is particularly dependent on visual signals and any lighting installation must avoid light out to sea, the river and the harbours. LOCAL GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES During 2000, the Western Australian Municipal Association has taken an interest in streetlighting and formed a local government committee. The principal interest is reducing energy usage and cost. A preliminary paper entitled “Streetlighting in Western Australia” has been prepared. The Cities for Climate Protection program has concise advice on streetlighting, advocating energy efficient metal-halide and compact fluorescent lamps. MAINTENANCE The lighting installation should be maintained so that:

Light Technical Parameters do not fall below 70% of the initial values

Luminaire failures should be repaired within 5 days.

No less than 95% of luminaires shall be operational at any time.

The number of consumable items such as lamps and control gear should be rationalized to minimise the stock of spare parts. Luminaires and associated hardware should be vandal-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Luminaires shall have an ingress protection of IP55, that is, dust-proof and hose-proof. HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES There are Western Power high voltage transmission lines running through the City. Streetlights need to be located away from transmission lines to allow safe access for maintenance. As a rule of thumb, streetlights should be located at least 6m away from a transmission line. If a streetlight is closer than 6m advice from Western Power’s transmission division must be sought.

RECOMMENDATIONS – CITY CENTRE High Street The High Street is the spine of the City Centre. Referring to AS1158.3.1, we recommend that High Street be lit to Category P2 (3.5 lux average, 0.7 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to minimum, and 0.7 lux vertical) with white light. This can be achieved with “Washington” luminaires with 250 W metal-halide lamps on 4.2 m “Novalux” poles (See figure G3). For the High Street Mall and associated areas a lighting plan has been prepared. This plan recommends lighting to Category P2 and includes:

Public lighting installed under verandahs

Lighting to the building features above the verandas

Mall lighting

Lighting to the mosaic

In ground uplights to trees In 1999 new lighting was installed comprising high pressure sodium lamps in Holophane “Granville” luminaires on Novalux poles. The light poles can be retained and the Granville luminaires replaced with Washington luminaires with white light. The Granville luminaires can then be redeployed on lesser streets.

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Round House To provide a spectacular focal point to the High Street vista, we recommend strong floodlighting of the east face of the Round House and floodlighting of the cliff face below the Round House. The Round House is constructed of light coloured limestone and thus lends itself to floodlighting. Considine and Griffiths Architects, who are currently engaged on the Round House, are supportive of this idea. Market Street & South Terrace Market Street and South Terrace are considered to be of equal importance to High Street. We recommend that it be lit to Category P2 with white light using the Washington luminaires on 4.2m Novalux poles. Where awnings exist, supplementary lighting is recommended installed under the awnings. Pioneer Park Pioneer Park is actively used at night and good lighting is needed to deter illegitimate activities. We recommend that this space be lit to Category P7 of AS1158.3.1 (14 lux average, 4 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to minimum, and 2 lux vertical).

Page 14: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 13

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

A single 150W metal-halide Bega 8201 luminaire on a 5m pole was installed in Pioneer Park as a prototype. It has proved to be effective and resistant to vandalism as there is no exposed lamp, glass or plastic. Accordingly, we recommend that Pioneer Park to lit with Bega 8201 luminaires. King’s Square King’s Square is an active public space during the day but appears dark and sinister at night.. It is recommended that this space be lit to Category P6 of AS1158.3.1 (21 lux average, 7 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to minimum, and 7 lux vertical). Because of the historic nature of the square, “Washington” luminaires are recommended with 150 W metal-halide lamps on the 4.2 m Novalux poles. See figure G3. Queen’s Square A plan for the redevelopment of Queens Square has been developed. The aim is to develop the early concept for the square, to encourage commerce and recreation and to discourage anti-social behaviour especially at night. Businesses are being encouraged to open onto the square. A pedestrian route is planned to surround the square. Lighting of this route should be to Category P3 of AS1158 (1.75lux average, 0.3 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to average, and 0.3 lux vertical) with white light. This can be provided by a combination of building mounted luminaires and pole mounted luminaires coordinated with the tree planting.

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 14

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Cantonment Street A plan has been prepared to the redevelopment of Cantonment Street in response to proposals for a new residential development and a new hotel. Lighting should be to Category P3 (1.7 lux average, 0.3 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum/average and 0.3 lux vertical) with white light. This can be achieved with median mounted streetlights through the commercial precinct and with verge mounted streetlights through the residential precinct. Suggested luminaires are 150W metal-halide Sylvania Parkville luminaires on single and double-outreach 8m poles (See figure G5). Extensive tree planting is planned and the height of the poles may need to be adjusted to allow light to pass under the tree canopies. Consideration should be given to uplighting of the trees. Night Priority Routes In addition to High Street and Market Street, the City has identified the following streets as “Night Priority Routes”:

Collie Street

Essex Street

Adelaide Street

Queen Street

Marine Terrace (Cliff St. - Essex St)

South Terrace (Market – Norfolk)

Cliff Street (Phillimore – Marine Terrace)

Parry Street (South Terrace – Holdsworth)

We recommend that these streets be lit to Category P3 (1.75 lux average, 0.3 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to average and 0.3 lux vertical) with white light. This can be achieved with the Washington luminaires with 150 W metal halide lamps on 4.2 m Novalux poles. As an alternative, where a contemporary look is preferred, Bega 8201 indirect luminaire with 150 W metal-halide lamps on 5m straight, circular section, poles can be used. Example of this lighting exists in Collie Street. Where more economical hardware is appropriate, the Sylvania Parkville luminaires with 150W metal-halide lamps on poles of about 8 m height, or the Sylvania Bourke Hill luminaire with 70 W metal halide lamps on poles of about 6 m height are suggested.

The Esplanade Reserve This reserve is used at night as a route from Cliff, Collie and Essex streets to the Zanzibar nightclub on the Boat Harbour. The nightclub has resorted to portable generators and floodlights to assist patrons to traverse the reserve in safety. Hazards are the toilets, the playground and the amphitheatre. We recommend that a serpentine route be lit across the reserve from the rail crossing to Essex Street. Lighting to Category P3 is recommended. This can be achieved with the 150 W metal-halide Bega 8201 luminaires on 5m straight, circular section, poles. In addition, floodlighting of the toilet block and the playground is strongly advised. Removal of the amphitheatre should be considered. West End Streets This precinct has many historical commercial buildings with stucco finish. To suit the ambience of the precinct, warm colour lighting is preferred. Suitable lamps are the high pressure sodium, warm deluxe metal-halide, and warm compact fluorescent lamps. We recommend that these streets be lit to Category P4 of AS1158.3.1 (0.85 lux average, 0.14 lux minimum, 10:1 maximum to average). This can be achieved with “Washington“ luminaires with 100 W “de luxe” high pressure sodium lamps on 4.2 m Novalux poles.

Page 17: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 16

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

In some narrow lanes it may be advantageous to wall mount the luminaires. The Washington luminaire could be wall mounted with a wall bracket with streetlighting cabling chased into the wall and the wall subsequently reinstated. An alternative would be to use a “half pole” as a luminaire support and cabling route. Such a pole could comprise a simple half tube without an enlarged base or any ornamentation. Cliff, Pakenham, and Market Streets will be extended to the proposed Waterfront Area. We recommend that these extensions be lit to Category P3 of AS1158.3.1 with Washington luminaires with 100W “de luxe” high pressure sodium lamps on 4.2m Novalux poles. Entries to the City Centre The main entries to the City Centre are Beach Road, Queen Victoria Street, High Street, South Terrace, and Marine Terrace. Streetscaping of these entries is expected. Beach Road and Queen Victoria Street should be lit to Category V5 of AS1158.1.1. High Street should be lit to Category P2 of AS1158.3.1 up to Stirling Street then be lit to Category V5 to Wood Street. South Terrace should be lit to Category P3 of AS1158.3.1 to just past Howard Street. Further South, lighting should be to Category V5 of AS1158.1.1. Marine Terrace should be lit to Category P3 of AS1158.3.1 to halfway between Arundel Street and Howard Street. Further South, lighting should be to Category V5 of AS1158.1.1. Carparks There are a number of existing outdoor carparks. For the large area car parks, Category P11 is recommended. This category requires a high lighting level of 14 lux on average. Glare must be avoided to adjoining roadways. This can be achieved with 150W metal-halide “forward throw” flat glass luminaires on 6m poles spaced about 20 to 25m apart lengthwise and 15 to 20m apart crosswise. Suitable luminaires are the Spectra Capella and Thorn Glaremaster. See figure H5. Station Fremantle Station is located on Elder Place. The lighting of the station and the forecourt is deficient. Westrail is embarking on a program to upgrade the lighting on all their stations to their new Lighting Standard. A brief outline of this standard is shown below:- carparks P11 carparks for disabled persons P12 exterior walkways, stairs, ramps P9 open platforms P6 roadways P1 pedestrian crossings of roadways AS1158.4 surrounds P4 bus boarding P6 The cost of the station lighting is not included in the cost estimate schedule as it is assumed that the cost will be included in the lighting upgrade by Westrail.

Floodlighting of Buildings In addition to the Round House, it has been suggested that the following buildings should be floodlit:

RECOMMENDATIONS – CITY SURROUNDS Main vehicular routes The Perth Metropolitan Area Functional Road Hierarchy identifies the following routes as Primary Distributors:

Stirling Highway

Queen Victoria Street (Tydeman Road to Canning Highway) including the Traffic Bridge

Tydeman Road

High Street (East of Wood Street)

Stock Road

South Street (East of Hampton Road) These routes should be lit to Category V3 of AS1158.1.1. An effective method of lighting these routes is 250W high pressure sodium streetlights on 12.5m poles at a spacing of about 60 m. The following roads are identified as District Distributors on the Functional Road Hierarchy:

Port Beach Road

Beach Street

Queen Victoria Street

Ord Street/Hampton Road

Marine Terrace/The Esplanade (South of Norfolk Street)

South Terrace (Norfolk Street to Douro Road)

Douro Road

South Street (West of Hampton Road)

High Street (West of Wood Street)

East Street (Canning Highway to High Street)

Marmion Street

Carrington Street These routes should be lit to Category V5 of AS1158.1.1. This can be achieved with 150W high pressure sodium streetlights on 12.5m poles at a spacing of about 60 m. Port Beach Road has heavy traffic volumes including many heavy vehicles, both day and night. At present it has no lighting North of Tydeman Road. Lighting of Port Beach Road should be given priority for traffic safety. Hampton Road carries very heavy traffic volumes, over 20 000 vehicles per day. This indicates that it should be lit to Category V3 instead of V5. Hampton Road is, however, classified only as a District Distributor as the proposed Fremantle Bypass should take much of the traffic away from Hampton Road. If the Bypass is not built, then Hampton Road should be lit to Category V3.

The following roads are a shared responsibility between Main Roads WA and the City:

Port Beach Road

Tydeman Road

Stirling Highway (South of Leach Highway)

Canning Highway (East of Stirling Highway

Leach Highway

Cockburn Road

the Traffic Bridge South Street East of Curedale Street and Stock Road are the sole responsibility of MRW. Distributor and Collector Roads These roads are identified on the attached Figure A2 and should be lit to Category P3 of AS1158. This can be achieved with 70 W metal-halide streetlights on 6.5 m poles at a spacing of 60 m. Minor Roads These roads are identified on the attached Figure A2 and should be lit to Category P4 of AS1158. This can be achieved with 42 W compact fluorescent streetlights on 6.5 m poles at a spacing of 60 m. Convenience Stores and Local Centres At these commercial centres, the lighting category should be raised for security and commercial reasons. At the convenience stores the lighting of the minor roads (category P4) should be raised to P3. At the commercial centres, on collector roads, the lighting should be raised to P2. Where the commercial centre is on a main vehicular route, the lighting (category V3 or V5) should be maintained but “white” rather than yellow high pressure sodium lighting should be used. The height of the light poles should be reduced to emphasize the change in the nature of the road. The future of Port Beach Road depends on a report on the West Suburbs Highway. The recommended lighting category of V5 may then need to be revised.

PRIORITIES City Centre Based on concerns for safety and security we recommend that the first priority includes Kings Square, High Street West, and Market Street from High Street to the railway station. The last two items will provide a safe night route from Notre Dame University to the railway station. As a second priority, we recommend High Street East. As a third priority, we recommend the remaining “Night Priority Routes”. The remaining streets would follow as a fourth priority. City Surrounds The streetlighting of the city surrounds can most economically proceed in conjunction with underground power programs. IMPLEMENTATION Western Power Traditionally Western Power has been the streetlighting service provider to local government except for controlled access highways where Main Roads WA lighting is used. In the past Western Power have demonstrated reluctance to install and maintain streetlighting other than their standard range of hardware. Western Power has the following lamps available: 50W mercury (becoming superseded) 80W mercury 125W mercury 150W high pressure sodium 250W high pressure sodium Western Power also can provide a 250 W metal halide lamp that can be installed in the place of a 250 W high pressure sodium lamp in their standard major streetlight. Western Power has the following poles available: 6.5m single 1.5m outreach 10.5m single & double 3m outreach 12.5m single & double 3m outreach These poles may have a galvanised finish or may be painted. Western Power launched a range of decorative streetlights at the end of 2000. At the time of this report, Western Power had not published a tariff for this range.

Page 22: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 21

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Contract We suggest that tenders be invited from potential streetlighting service providers for the installation and maintenance of the streetlighting improvements. There are electrical contractors with the skills and experience and Western Power may be interested to tender as well. Tenders should be invited on the basis of conditions of contract (e.g.AS2124), technical specification, drawings, and bills of quantity. Cost estimates Cost estimates are outlined in Appendix C. These cost estimates are based on:

quotations from lighting suppliers and pole manufacturers

current Western Power charges

labour @ $40/h

plant hire @ $192 per day

4 000 hours of operation per annum

Fremantle Lighting Strategy

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

A GLOSSARY OF LIGHTING TERMINOLOGY

Average Carriageway Luminance (L) - The average luminance of a given section of the road carriageway when viewed from the observers position. Average Illuminance (E) - The average lighting levels at ground level measured in the horizontal plane. For the Category P4 & P5 streets, the results measured and recorded in this column are the average over the whole street. Average Lamp Life - Time taken until 50% of lamps has reached end of life. Colour Temperature – An indication of the colour appearance of a lamp measured in degrees Kelvin (K). 2700K indicates a warm colour, 5000K indicates a cool colour. Disability Glare – glare resulting in reduced visual performance, often accompanied by discomfort. Efficacy - A measure of lamp output efficiency, with units of lumen/watt Flat Glass Luminaires – Luminaires with no light emitting above the horizontal giving low glare & low obtrusive light. Fluorescent Lamps – Lamps that can give “white light”. Compact fluorescent lamps present the ordinary tubular lamp in a small package. Flange Mounted Pole - a pole manufactured with a flange at the bottom to bolt down to a concrete footing. Footing - concrete base for a flanged pole. Glare – Condition of vision in which there is discomfort or reduction of ability to see, or both, caused by an unsuitable distribution or range of luminance, or to extreme contrasts in the field of vision. Glare Control Mark – A measure of discomfort glare produced by a street light in a particular situation. This mark is on a scale of 1 to 9 with higher numbers being more comfortable. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamps – Lamps with a yellow colour appearance. Used on freeways. Illuminance – The amount of lighting at a particular point, measured in lux. Ingress Protection – or “IP rating”, a two digit code indicate resistance to ingress of solids and liquids, the first digit refers to solids, the second to liquids eg IP55 means dust-protected & water-jet proof. Higher numbers indicate better protection

Illuminance Uniformity (Ue) - This is a measure that relates average illuminance to maximum illuminance. The higher the figure, the greater the problems of excessive contrast of the highest illumination point. Lamp – a generic term for a man made source of light sometimes colloquially referred to as a “globe” or “bulb” Light Output – The total luminous flux emitted by a lamp or luminaire. Luminance – the brightness of an object or surface. Measured in units of cd/m2 (candela per square metre). Low Pressure Sodium (LPS) Lamps – Lamps with a distinctive yellow colour. The light emitted by this lamp distorts the colours of blue, green and red, but produced a high quantity of light for the quantity of energy consumed. Longitudinal Luminance Uniformity (UI) – The ratio of minimum to maximum carriageway luminance in a longitudinal line along the road through the observer’s position. The closer this figure is to 1, the more even is the luminance. Luminaire – A light fitting or “fixture” including lamps, optical system and any electrical control gear. Minimum Illuminance (Emin) - The minimum measured lighting level recorded in the measurement area, the measurements taken at ground level in the horizontal plane Mercury Vapour (MV) Lamps – Lamps with a blue-white colour. Metal Halide Lamps – Lamps which can give “white light”- more efficient than mercury vapour. Mounting Height – The vertical distance between the centre of a luminaire and the surface of the carriageway immediately beneath the lighting. Nominal Height – The vertical distance between the bottom of the baseplate or ground line (as applicable) and - (a) For columns with outreach arms - a horizontal line at the highest level of the outreach arm centre-line. (b) For post-top columns – the highest point of the column excluding any fixing spigot. Observer’s Position - A reference position on the road from which theoretical calculations are based. Approximately where a driver would sit when driving down the road.

Obtrusive Light - Spill light causing annoyance distraction, discomfort or reduction in vision. Outreach - The distance measured horizontally from the centre of a bracket-mounted luminaire, to the centre of the column or pole, or the wall face to which the bracket is attached. Overall Luminance Uniformity (Uo) – The ratio of minimum carriageway luminance to the average luminance. The closer this figure is to 1, the more even the luminance. Peak Intensity - The highest value of luminous intensity from a given luminaire. Planting Depth - The length of the column that is buried below ground level. Standards – Australian Standards include: AS1158 Public Lighting AS1428 Design for Access & Mobility AS1680 Interior Lighting AS2293 Emergency Lighting AS2560 Sports Lighting AS2890 Off Road Car Parks AS4282 Obtrusive Light Spill Light – Light which falls outside the boundary of the property on which the lighting installation is sited Surround Illuminance Ratio (ES) - The ratio between the average illuminance of the road verge to the adjacent section of carriageway. The higher the ratio, the more effectively will verge details be discernible to drivers. Threshold Increment – A measure of disability glare produced by a street lighting in a particular situation. The higher numbers correspond to greater disability glare. Uniformity Ratio – The ratio of maximum illuminance to average illuminance. Upcast Angle - The angle between the axis of the luminaire fixing and the horizontal. Uplift - (For pole-mounted bracket arms) - the vertical distance between the intersection of the bracket arm centre-line with the supporting face and the highest level of the bracket arm centre-line.

5.1.3 Lighting A number of readings were taken with a light meter (TOPCON IM-2D) in both the CBD and residential areas during the survey. A horizontal reading was taken to measure the amount of light actually reaching the ground. A vertical reading was also taken to identify the amount of light illuminating vehicles, individual’s faces and signage, etc. This reading is sometimes higher due to reflection of light off other surfaces such as walls, windows and other vertical features. A lumen is a the unit of luminous flux (light) used in describing the quality of light emitted by a source and Lux is the lumen of light spread over one square meter. All readings were measured in Lux. To provide reference levels the following examples of typical light levels are, Clear Moonlight - 0.2 Lux,

Main Road Street lighting - 15 Lux,

Office lighting - 400 – 600 Lux,

Direct sunlight - 50,000 – 100,000 Lux

In numerous residential streets and parks in the City, there were readings of zero (0) lux. This illustrates that street lighting and lighting of parks in the Town is generally inadequate. Though some street lighting did meet the current Australian Standard, it is recognised by most, if not all lighting consultants and specialists, that the Standard itself is inadequate and fortunately is currently being rewritten. During the night-time physical survey, some streetlights were seen not to be working and the illumination cast by numerous others was obscured by tree branches and other foliage. During the course of the survey CorpSec staff became aware of an agreement between Local Government and the then electric power utility, to only provide street lighting to half the Australian Standard. In City of Fremantle, as with most other municipalities, street lighting is not directed towards pedestrian movement (on footpaths and walkways) but onto the adjoining road. This casts pools of illumination onto the roads but generally leaves footpaths unlit. Often overhanging branches and foliage block out illumination, further decreasing the level of light that reaches footpaths. In most cases, this situation is only remedied through lighting from adjoining homes/businesses, placing footpaths very close to roads, or the removal or selective thinning of trees and other vegetation between street lighting and walkways. Street lighting should, wherever porrible, be directed towards pedestrian movement. Surveys conducted in the United Kingdom show a direct positive co-relation between the amount of lighting and the amount of crime.

Page 74: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 73

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Recommendation No. 3 a) Establish an integrated Lighting plan for the City coordinating street lighting for both the

CBD and residential suburbs, for the purpose of enhancing security and safety in accordance with the draft Australian Standard on street lighting (DR 98380).

(Cost: To be investigated by the City)

b) Institute a proactive program of removing or pruning vegetation that obscures street

lighting.

(Cost: to be absorbed)

c) Establish a program to place or re-direct streetlights to cast as much illumination on pedestrian walkways as practicable.

(Cost: to be absorbed)

d) Upgrade, as they need replacing, streetlights to meet or exceed the draft Australian Standard on Street-lighting. It is suggested that white light, preferably in the form of Metal Halide lights, be used as these are an excellent form of lighting for security and safety purposes (particularly if CCTV is to be used).

5.2.4 Lighting (CBD) A number of indicative light meter readings were taken in carious areas throughout the CBD. Lighting in the CBD as a whole was seen to be closer to the required standard than that seen in the outer suburbs. Most areas of the CBD where pedestrian movement is common are adequately lit by a number of different types of luminaires, however the effectiveness of some lights are diminished by their ineffective placement in relation to eaves overhanging some walkways (Refer to photograph 17 ANNEX B). Lighting in outlying areas of the CBD are of a low standard. It is important to note that the establishment of standards of lighting in the CBD may be exacerbated by the fact that there is a certain amount of residential property within the area. Australian lighting standards AS1158 (1986) specify much higher levels for Town and city centres than that needed for residential properties. Recommendation No. 9

Institute a Lighting plan as mentioned in Recommendation 3a. 5.2.9 Specific Areas Identified A number of specific areas within the CBD were identified as being of concern. They are addressed individually below.

Page 75: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 74

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Carpark (Corner of Cantonment and Queen Street) This carpark is a gathering point for groups and individuals in their vehicles particularly at night. Some were observed to be street drinking and displaying other antisocial behavoir on a reasonably regular basis during the survey, particularly on weekends. Recommendation No. 13 Ensure that particular attention is paid to vastly increasing the lighting of this area according to recommendation 3a (Lighting Plan), to increase visibility, to hopefully move the anti-social group away and to enhance the effectiveness of recommended camera surveillance of this street as mentioned in recommendation 9a. (Cost: included in recommendations 3a and 9a). Kings Square A number of light meter readings were taken in Kings Square and the High Street Mall. These aras appear well lit by a number of sodium vapour lamps. A number of telephones are located at one end of the Mall area. As a result of physical surveys, it is considered that this central point has become a focus for individuals who badger people on the telephones for money. Recommendation No. 14 a Redistribute the telephone booths to reduce the incidents of solicitation for monty. (Cost: To be investigated by the City). b Significantly increase the amount of lighting as per recommendation 3a (City lighting plan) in

order to reduce the opportunity for loitering and itinerants sleeping in this area. (Cost: included in recommendation 3a). Queens Square Queens Square is a common area used by itinerants and other groups for drinking and sleeping. The light meter readings for the area were taken whilst sitting on the park bench at the corner of High and Parry Street. These readings were considered extremely low. It is considered that the low level of lighting attracts individuals who wish to be ignored whilst engaging in drinking or sleeping.

Page 76: Fremantle lighting strategy

Fremantle Lighting Strategy Page 75

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

Recommendation No. 15 a Increase lighting as per recommendation No. 3a in this park area. (Cost: included in recommendation 3a). b Trim foliage to enhance natural surveillance of the rear of the park. (Cost: No direct cost). High Street Mall There are a number of anti-social and other issues that emanate from the High Street Mall area. The most significant being that of drugs distribution. This problem is well known to the Fremantle Police who, with outside support, have mounted numerous operations targeting this area, with little success to date. Distributors are known to the police however prosecution is a difficult undertaking for a variety of legal reasons. While it is understood that the mall is to be redesigned, it is submitted that it must be redesigned with CPTED principals well to the forefront, in order to reduce criminal and anti-social activity. Lighting in the area is adequate for safety but may need to be replaced should CCTV cameras be used, as the present sodium vapour lighting is considered ill suited for correct identification and clarity. Recommendation No. 16 a Redesign the mall area in accordance with CPTED and CPTEM principles. (Cost: to be investigated by the City). b Install CCTV cameras as mentioned in recommendation 9a. Fremantle Hospital Lighting and carpark security pertaining to Fremantle Hospital are considered unsatisfactory, particularly in those areas behind the Hospital and areas adjacent to Fremantle prison. Lighting and security no only represents a safety concern for nurses and other staff of the hospital, but also for those pedestrians using this access way down the side of the Prison to enter and exit the CBD. Recommendion No. 17 Council request Fremantle Hospital to address inadequate carpark security and lighting around the perimeter of their facility. (Cost: No direct cost).

Sage Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd 2001 s\1167\strategyE.doc

5.3 Suburbs As an example of typical levels of light in the City’s suburbs, it is recommended that town planners conduct a quick night-time visit to Pearse Street in North Fremantle and drive the length of the street, well after dark. Particular attention should be paid to lighting levels upon alighting from the car and extinguishing the headlights. 5.3.2 Parks and Ovals Parks and ovals in the suburbs of the City display a lack of CPTED and CPTEM principles. Most that were observed displayed inadequate lighting during night surveys. Anecdotal evidence suggests that parks and playgrounds are often used as hang-outs for illegitimate users of space particularly at night. It was suggested by some who were interviewed that night-time burglaries are often committed on houses opposite parks. It is thought that groups or individuals use the darkness to wait and watch for residents leaving, commit the burglary and escape through the park. As an example of inadequate planning, the new playground on the corner of Paget and Rennie Streets in Hilton has no illumination at night. This is a similar situation to Hilton Park where a large portion of the playground and surrounding areas are unlit and afford an excellent hiding place for illegitimate users and those wishing to loiter. The same park has public toilets that are unlocked at night and which were observed being used as a meeting place for a number of suspicious activities. A park bench is located in front of the women’s toilet entrance (refer to photograph 5 in ANNEX B). Recommendation No. 20 Increase lighting for parks and ovals as part of recommendation 3a (City lighting plan). (Cost: included in recommendation 3a).

4.7 Lighting Strategy The Security Risk Management Study has identified that lighting in the City of Fremantle is a significant problem. Council should undertake a detailed lighting study to identify strategies for improvement and upgrade over a specified time frame and provide funding for its implementation. Council needs to institute a proactive program of removing or pruning vegetation that obscured street lighting. It also needs to survey all streetlights to replace damaged lights and redirect lighting to pedestrian areas as practicable. Street lights should be upgraded, as they need replacing, to meet or exceed the draft Australian Standard with a white light preferably “Metal Halide” lights as these are an excellent form of lighting for security and safety purposes, particularly if CCTV is used.
