Promote a significant event or day by lighting up some of Perth’s most iconic landmarks.

We are not likely to approve applications for feature lighting for:

• private functions e.g. weddings, parties, corporate events and birthdays.
• commercial or political advertising purposes.
• applications that, in our opinion, are contrary to government policies, initiatives, and community standards.

We may approve or reject any feature lighting application at our discretion.

Booking day restrictions

The following applications will be prioritised:

• Applications from Optus Stadium that complement major events. 
• Applications from charitable and not-for-profit organisations promoting a significant event or appeal.

Applications won’t be accepted for the following, due to predetermined programs already scheduled:

• Australia Day
• ANZAC Day
• Christmas period (generally 2nd week of December to 1st week of January)
• Easter
• NAIDOC Week
• Road Safety Awareness Week
• Remembrance Day

Approval of event lighting may be withdrawn at any time, at the absolute discretion of Main Roads and at the sole risk of the applicant.

Timing and colour options

Feature lighting turns on just after sunset and remains on until midnight. A pre-programmed list of colour themes are available on request.

When there are no bookings, Matagarup Bridge will showcase a lighting display featuring the colours of the Noongar Six Seasons amongst other prominent colour settings.

All our other landmarks will feature the colour of the season when not booked for a significant event or appeal.
