Lighting Restrictions Now Compulsory Coastwide Proclamation
Severe lighting limits across the state were announced by Minister Heffron with a coast to coast rule inland up to ten miles. Buildings and vehicles must shield or extinguish light visible from the sea to create a starved glow and near blackout while preserving safety for street use. Outdoor lighting rules remain but with stricter screening of skylights and exterior illuminations to curb visibility from outside the vessel or building.
