The initial notice about the LED street lighting upgrade published earlier this year, mistakenly missed key information about this work and how it will impact you. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
We are now republishing the notice with the full information included.
Connetics has been contracted by the Christchurch City Council to replace existing street lights throughout the city with modern LED luminaires.
The new lighting has been designed to conform to the Australian/New Zealand Road Lighting Standard, AS/NZS1158 to provide “a lit environment conducive to the safe and comfortable movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic at night and discourage illegal acts”.
In some instances, lights will be brighter for several days until they are set to their design wattage through the network management system.
- We won’t need to interrupt your household power supply while we complete this work
- We will not need to dig up your street
- The lights being installed do not operate on 5G or form part of a 5G network
