Activate the Belmont Common lights

In addition to the lights, the Belmont Common allows clubs whose facilities have been closed due to ground condition and also clubs that do not have sports lights the opportunity to train throughout the winter months.

The following procedure outlines the steps involved to activate the lights for clubs with confirmed bookings.

Step 1 – Accessing light compound

• Collect the access keys from Barwon Valley Activity Centre (opposite Kmart), drive to the reserve access gate and use the provided D200 coded key to enter the reserve. 
• Proceed to the locked compound (Figure 1) and use the 0001 coded key to open the gate (Figure 2) (only 1 lock needs be opened to enter this gate).

• The switch with the pink padlock is the switch required to light the oval.
• Unlock this padlock using the 0001 coded key.

Step 3 – Activating lights

• Place the 103 coded key into the switch lock and turn the switch from the Off to the On position.
• The lights will take a few minutes to warm up.
• Please note that the key can be removed from this lock while the lights are in use.

Step 4 – Turning lights off

• Once finished with the lights use the 103 coded key to turn the lights off.
• Lock the switch using the pink padlock and lock the compound gate.
