Turn the raw legal text into a practical explanation grounded in National Capital Plan (December 1990).
Lighting
All outdoor lighting, including security and car park lighting, must be designed and sited to minimise light pollution. Lighting solutions must carefully consider any impact on Mount Stromlo Observatory, and views to the site from the Central National Area.
All outdoor lighting (including lighting fixed to structures) must use full cut‑off light fittings. Any up‑lighting of buildings should be carefully designed to keep night time overspill and glare to a minimum.
