Optus Stadium Feature Lighting


Background

Optus Stadium is owned by the Western Australian State Government and is proudly operated by VenuesLive.

Optus Stadium has been designed with a focus on technology, and as such, significant infrastructure is available to support lighting the halo fabric roof and façade surrounding the exterior of the Stadium.

Hirers of Optus Stadium have exclusive use of the Stadium lighting system on their respective event days. Please refer to the Optus Stadium Event Calendar, which is subject to change throughout the year.

To maintain the unique feature of the Stadium lighting system, there are limited opportunities for charities and not-for-profit organisations (NFPs) to use the system on non-event days.

Policy

  • The Stadium accepts applications to use the Stadium lighting system from charities and NFPs who are promoting a significant event or appeal that:
    • is recognised within the State of Western Australia;
    • has national or international significance, as determined by the Stadium and/or the State Government;
    • is aligned with a charity/NFP activation in Western Australia on the requested date; and / or
    • has a well-recognised connection with a requested colour.
  • Interested charities/NFPs must submit their application to use the Stadium lighting system by 1 November of each year for the forthcoming year using the application form.
  • The Stadium will accommodate charity/NFP requests for up to 25 nights each year.
  • Successful applicants will only be offered lighting rights for one (1) night per year, and may or may not be granted rights in following years.
  • Stadium lighting rights will be offered to charities/NFPs that allow for a reasonably even representation of causes across each year.

The Stadium reserves the right to accept or reject applications, including applications it considers to be of a political, religious or sensitive nature, at its absolute discretion.

Opportunity

  • The Stadium will generally be lit with one colour in fixed mode.
  • The coloured lighting will include the halo fabric roof and the façade surrounding the exterior of the Stadium.
  • The coloured lighting will operate from darkness on the approved day until 11pm.
