Minister for Energy:
I refer to the installation of 4000
kelvin correlated colour temperature light-emitting diode streetlights across
Perth by Western Power.
(1) In which suburbs have these

(2) Would the minister please table
the rollout plan for these streetlights; and, if not, why not?
(3) Will Western
Power retrofit 3000K LED lighting in residential areas where 4000K LED lighting
has already been installed?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Energy.
(1) Western Power
has installed these streetlights in Wembley, Melville, Menora, Nedlands,
Claremont, Alfred Cove, West Leederville and Floreat.
(2) Western Power
is working with local government authorities in relation to future
installations of LED streetlights. During this process, Western Power will be
working to resolve any issues it may have currently and as they arise. A more
detailed implementation plan is expected to be finalised in early 2020.
(3) Western Power
is required to act efficiently and in a commercial manner to minimise costs to
taxpayers. As is its standard approach, Western Power will replace LED
streetlights as they come to end of life. However, local government authorities
may request and fund this work should they wish to replace these LEDs ahead of
time.
