Huge lighting upgrades for Litis Stadium
The company provided a $572,079.48 quote for the job, the second cheapest of the four tenders, and was given the best assessment score.
The project will involve the removal of six floodlighting poles and metal halide lamps and installation of new floodlighting poles, LED luminaires, a lighting system distribution board and all associated electrical cabling and conduits.
'The lighting design and increased pole height, combined with new LED lighting technology, will significantly reduce light spill (both glare and perceived glare) comparatively to the existing metal halide floodlights,' a council report said.
The existing floodlighting was installed in 2002 and is no longer compliant with standards set by Football West. It has prevented Floreat Athena Football Club from being able to host night matches and the annual night series competition.
In 2022, the club sought State Government support to upgrade the lighting to the minimum requirement for night matches. Last year it was approached by Football Australia about using the stadium as a potential training site for the AFC Women's Asian World Cup, which kicks off in March 2026.
This year the State Government provided $800,000 in grant funding to enable the lighting upgrade to be delivered.

2025 Basketball SA District Finals live stream: Youth and Reserves prelim finals
Don't miss out on the headlines from Basketball Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News. It's last chance saloon for South Australia's top ballers as they shoot for a grand final opportunity in the BSA District and Youth League preliminary finals. All four finals from the Under-21/23 and Reserves divisions will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV on Tuesday night. WATCH LAST WEEK'S MAJOR AND MINOR SEMI-FINALS WATCH THE JUNIOR DISTRICT LEAGUE FINALS ACTION A Jack Turnbull-led Sturt Sabres will be searching for answers in the Reserves Men preliminary final as they aim to bounce back to form against Central District Lions. The Lions will go into the contest with plenty of confidence after they beat their rivals by seven points the last time the two sides faced off mid-season. The high-flying Forestville Eagles await the winner in next week's grand final. Finally the West Adelaide Bearcats, who were stunned by the Eagles in last week's semi-finals, will need to regroup quickly against a hungry Sturt Sabres side. The Bearcats reserves women features a stacked line-up of talented playmakers, but they were left floored by an attack led by U18 SA Metro captain Olivia Tredrea and her sister Jemma. The Sabres feature their own impressive line-up led by gun shooter Chelsea Portus, and will be confident they can spring a second shock in as many weeks to book a grand final spot. South Adelaide Panthers Under-21 men will look to regroup after giving up a nine-point first-quarter lead in last week's qualifying final against Central District Lions. The Panthers, who have plenty of talent across the floor, will take on a Norwood Flames side flying high after notching triple figures in the elimination final. The Flames will be led by the exciting Ezeikiel Emnace who caught fire with 30 points last week. The same two sides will battle in the earlier clash on Court 4 with the Norwood Flames taking on the Panthers in the Under-23 women's preliminary final. The Panthers will have all the momentum after holding on for a 14-point win in last week's elimination final, while the Flames fell three shots away from the grand final. The two sides haven't met in more than a month, but the Flames got the better of their rivals on that occasion thanks largely to a Lucy Wootton masterclass.

Huge lighting upgrades for Litis Stadium
Mt Hawthorn's Litis Stadium will get desperately needed upgrades to floodlighting after the City of Vincent picked Stiles Electrical & Communications Services to do the job.

‘Forged' and ‘fake': PNG sport, business supremo hits out at corruption concerns
The oil and gas boss who led Papua New Guinea's bid for a National Rugby League franchise has blasted corruption concerns about his business dealings as 'baseless claims' designed to discredit the country's historic admission to the Australian competition. Wapu Sonk on Friday stepped down as a director from the incoming team's board at the request of PNG Prime Minister James Marape, after this masthead uncovered suspect dealings between the Sonk-led Kumul Petroleum Holdings and a Chinese government-controlled entity over the upgrade of a PNG port. Marape said at the weekend that he ordered an investigation after a letter emerged from March this year from Australian-born Kumul Petroleum project manager Jason Pollock to the Chinese company directing it to use companies owned by Pollock and Sonk. Sonk is managing director of Kumul Petroleum, PNG's state-owned energy business and the country's largest company. He declined to answer questions put to him last week by this masthead, but in a statement issued on Monday night, he described the letter as 'fabricated'. 'These claims are based on false information and the matter is being investigated internally within KPHL and will be referred to the police for investigation,' Sonk said. 'I will ensure all these baseless claims are properly addressed, and that those who falsified documents are properly dealt with through legal channels.' Sonk said he had stood down from the board of the Albanese government-backed PNG NRL team 'to ensure there is no hindrance in progressing our new NRL franchise team forward' and that he would pursue defamation action in Australia to clear his name.
