The City of Canning was asked in November 2025 to review lighting across more than 220 public access ways (PAWs) and create a priority list for upgrades. Councillors voted 10–0 for the motion. The vote started a planning process; it did not mean an audit or upgrades had been completed.

What councillors asked the City to do

The motion called for a comprehensive look at PAW lighting and a list of where upgrades should come first, with community safety, existing requests and potential risks among the considerations. PerthNow reported the motion and the figure of more than 220 PAWs in November 2025. PerthNow

The aim is to help the City assess needs across its network rather than treat every request as proof of a confirmed lighting defect. A request signals a concern; it does not establish that a pathway is unsafe or that a light is missing or faulty.

Where the reported requests were concentrated

A November 2025 report attributed the following shares of outstanding lighting requests to suburbs. These are reported shares, not a current City inventory or counts of unique pathways, residents or confirmed defects. PerthNow

Who handles public lighting requests

Responsibility depends on who owns or manages the light. The City says most streetlights are owned and managed by Western Power. The City handles requests for PowerWatch or Public Access Walkway lighting and lights that are not owned by Western Power or Main Roads WA. Streetlights along Roe Highway are managed by Main Roads WA. City of Canning streetlighting City of Canning report-a-lighting-issue guidance

  • For streetlights along Roe Highway, contact Main Roads WA.

For a new or upgraded light

Residents can submit a request to the City for a new or upgraded streetlight. The City says Engineering will investigate within 20 working days. That investigation may include a night audit. If the City determines an upgrade is required, it applies to Western Power; the City says this step can take several months. The 20-working-day investigation timeframe is not a promise that a light will be installed within that period. City of Canning streetlighting City of Canning new or upgraded streetlight request

What happens next—and what is not yet confirmed

A December 2025 report said a business case was expected to go to a strategic briefing in March 2026, with possible consideration during 2026/27 budget deliberations. The report also said the business case was expected to examine costs, options and potential state or federal funding. These were forecasts, not confirmation that the briefing occurred, that a final priority list was adopted or that funding was approved. Your Local Examiner

How priorities could be weighed

The motion named community safety, existing backlog requests and potential risks as relevant considerations. A later report indicated the business case was expected to consider costs and options. The available reports do not establish a final scoring system, technical lighting standard or which PAWs would be addressed first. PerthNow Your Local Examiner
