    Barak Beacon Housing Development - Excessive Light Spill

    Over many months, residents in Beacon Road and nearby streets have raised concerns with the builder, ICON construction, about excessive ‘light spill’ from the five large cranes at night. There is intense very bright light from the cranes.

    In mid-March, ICON construction acknowledged the direct impact of the lighting on residents and stated that they had engaged lighting specialists to assess whether adjustments could be made while still meeting safety obligations. The assessment was to consider factors such as direction, and intensity of the lighting. ICON construction expected advice would be able to be provided to residents in early April.

    Despite multiple written requests from the Beacon Road and Beacon Cove community to ICON constructions, no advice has been provided.

    Nearby residents have contacted the City of Port Phillip. The BCNA has contacted ICON construction and Ms. Nina Taylor MP, Member for Albert Park, about the problem stressing the impact on nearby residents.
