Home » Solar RV Park Lighting | Railway Ave | Mareeba Shire, QLD

Project Summary

This Railway Terrace outdoor car park for Recreational Vehicles is located in the CBD of Mareeba, QLD and runs parallel to the high street. The solar lighting component of this car parking expansion needed to meet the ASNZ1158 P4 classification lighting standard which is common for many types of outdoor and rooftop parking areas. The project also contained a pedestrian crossing area which required a higher level of illumination to conform with the standard – P6X Classification.

Background

The Railway Avenue RV Park in Mareeba was set to be transformed into an off-street parking precinct capable of accommodating 61 car park bays, six motorcycle bays and 18 RV parks. Located in the heart of the Mareeba CBD, the newly designed parking precinct will offer a free 8-hour limit and includes solar lights to improve community safety.

Solution
