                      c.      All outdoor lights must have a maximum of 2700 K correlated colour temperature
                              (CCT). All indoor lights must have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and
                              exterior) must avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
                      d.      Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting must be used as a standard.
                              Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights must 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.
                      e.      The number and wattage of lights must be minimised.
                      f.      All lights must be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle
                              nesting habitat.
                      g.      No lighting is permitted on the roof of the building.
                      h.      All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, must be turned off between 8:00pm and
                              sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May).
                      i.      External feature lighting to the building must be positioned below 8 metres in height
                              and turned off between 8:00 pm and sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      a.      No upward lights or vertical illumination of the building, vegetation or other structures
                              using lighting that shines into the sky to be used. Where lighting is required for safety
                              purposes (including all corridors above ground level, stairwells, entry points etc.), the
                              lighting of these areas must 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 must be used wherever possible.
                      b.      No decorative outdoor lighting is to be fitted to the buildings, open space or recreation
                              areas (e.g. Fairy/Christmas lights) during nesting and hatching season (October –
                              May).
                      c.      Pool lighting must be switched off after 8:00pm during nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      d.      All exterior lighting must be shielded by a minimum of 30 cm vertical shielding.
               19.    Certification must be submitted to Council which certifies that the lighting requirements of
                      this Decision Notice have been met.
