Minor Change Existing Approval DBW21/0208.01 {As Published}
6. All lighting should be positioned and managed to reduce sky glow and light spill onto the
beach to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings.
Management measures include reduced intensity, long wavelength lights; shielded, low to
the ground, and directed onto areas of interest; low reflectance building surfaces and paint;
and tinted external glass. The following should be incorporated into the development:
a. All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE) to
have 15% visible light transmittance tinting.
b. All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE) to
be fitted with opaque blinds, to be drawn from 8:00 pm during turtle nesting and
hatching season (October – May).
c. Indoor and outdoor paint/surfaces/fixtures to be matte and dark in colour and have a
maximum reflectance value of 30%.
d. All outdoor lights to have a maximum of 2700 K correlated colour temperature (CCT).
All indoor lights to have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and exterior)
to avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
e. Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting to be used as a standard.
Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights should not
contain short wavelength blue light and supplier should be asked to provide spectral
power curve of requested LEDs to prove the absence of short wavelengths.
f. The number and wattage of lights to be minimised.
g. All lights to be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle
nesting habitat.
h. No lighting should be located on the roof of the building.
i. All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, to be turned off between 8:00 pm and
sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May).
j. External feature lighting to the building to be positioned below 10 metres in height and
turned off between 8.00 pm and sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season
(October – May).
k. Upward lights or vertical illumination of the building, vegetation or other structures using
lighting that shines into the sky should not be used.
l. Where lighting is required for safety purposes (including all corridors above ground
level, stairwells, entry points etc.), the lighting of these areas should be activated by
proximity sensors or motion detectors with an associated deactivation of the lighting
after no more than 10 minutes during turtle nesting and hatching season (October –
May). For lighting in other areas, timers, proximity or motion activated light sensors
should be used wherever possible.
m. Decorative outdoor lighting should not be fitted to the buildings, open space or
recreation areas (e.g. Fairy/Christmas lights) during nesting and hatching season
(October – May).
n. Pool lighting to be switched off after 8:00 pm during nesting and hatching season
(October – May).
o. All exterior lighting to be shielded by a minimum of 30 cm vertical shielding.
7. An applicant for a development application may make an agreement with an assessment
manager, referral agency or other person to establish the responsibilities, or secure the
performance, of a party to the agreement about a development condition.
