Public Lighting Policy

The purpose of this Public Lighting Policy is to set out the general principles used by the City of Kingston to:

• provide street and public place lighting in the municipality to ensure safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians at night;
• assist pedestrians to orientate themselves;
• discourage illegal and anti-social activity;
• design new or replacement public lighting; and
• manage the provision of existing public lighting.

When Council receives a request (or identifies a need) for public lighting improvements this will be investigated and assessed against the general principles of this Policy.
