Principles of Achieving Sustainable
Public Lighting
• Principle 1. Seek actions that build relationships
• Principle 2. Seek to coordinate actions
• Principle 3. Seek solutions where possible that consolidate
existing council systems rather than create more systems
• Principle 4. Seek actions that are complementary and
iterative
• Principle 5. Seek to implement actions in those areas
where there is existing opportunity
