Hagley Oval lights
now all in place
• By Logan Church
HAGLEY OVAL is now the only
cricket ground in the South Island with
“broadcast quality” lighting.
Approval was granted last year
after Associate Greater Christchurch
Regeneration
Minister, Poto
Williams, approved
district plan changes
to allow six lights
using earthquake
recovery laws.
The last of the
49m-high lights were
installed last week.
“We’ve finally got Lee Robinson
our lights at Hagley,”
said Canterbury
Cricket chairman Lee Robinson.
“In the last week or so they have
installed six lights of international
standard around Hagley Oval so we can
now broadcast and televise games of all
international standards and turn them on
during the night.”
He said previously, there was inadequate
lighting for games to be broadcast overseas
at prime-time in countries like India.
“We weren’t allocated major international
games,” said Robinson,
“[India’s] broadcasters, quite naturally,
require their games to be broadcast in
their premium watching hours which is
four to five hours behind us.”
It had been a battle to get to this point,
with stiff opposition from those wanting
to “preserve the character” of the park.
Robinson said before Covid-19 there
was a race to get the lights installed ahead
of the Women’s Cricket World Cup in
2021.
Resource consents for four lights that
were retractable were granted by the Environment
Court in 2013, but Robinson said
since then broadcasting standards “had
improved” and six permanent lights were
needed.
He said the original four were not going
to “cut the mustard”.
Robinson said he was grateful for the
Government’s support.
