VEU Lighting Design and Compliance Services

Farm & Industrial Facility Upgrades


We design compliant lighting layouts for trafficable outdoor spaces such as farmyards, access roads, driveways, and loading zones. These areas often fall outside standard categories but still require safe, functional illumination for vehicles and equipment. Our designs balance efficiency with visibility, meeting VEU documentation requirements and aligning with AS/NZS standards where applicable. All designs are carried out by MIES accredited lighting designer.

Typical applications: farm driveways, private access roads, equipment yards, outdoor loading bays, rural vehicle zones.

Car Park Lighting Design

We conduct targeted lux level testing as part of the verification and upgrade pathway under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) scheme. Our measurements help determine baseline performance and support compliance with Activity 35 lighting requirements. This includes pre- and post-upgrade testing to maximise VEEC creation and rebate eligibility.

Typical applications: warehouses, workshops, car parks, industrial estates, commercial retrofit projects, council asset upgrades.

Public Space & Asset Lighting

We support upgrades to community assets like parks, sports courts, and council facilities. Our designs meet AS 1158 or AS 4282 where relevant, while ensuring VEU documentation includes compliant lux plots and fitting specifications.

Typical applications: sports ovals, public reserves, playgrounds, community halls, recreation zones.

School & Campus Area Lighting

We assist with lighting upgrades around school and university grounds, including car parks, walkways, and common spaces. Our layouts focus on safe navigation, glare control, and rebate alignment, with AS/NZS standard references embedded in all reports.

Typical applications: staff and student car parks, covered outdoor learning areas (COLAs), pathway lighting, entrance zones.
