There are around 8,500 streetlights in our city.
The maintenance of street lighting is the responsibility of CitiPower for the area north of Balaclava Road and Jemena for the area south of Balaclava Road.
The installation of additional street lighting are assessed by Glen Eira City Council. We have a Street Lighting Policy and any assessment is consistent with Council Policy — generally a light on every second power pole. Typically, this results in a spacing of approximately 100 metres between lights. If warranted, we request the relevant power supply company to install the additional lighting. Decisions on requests for lighting on the arterial roads within Glen Eira are made by VicRoads.
Street light faults should be reported directly to either CitiPower on 131 280 or Jemena on 132 099
