Albury-Wodonga Football Association currently has three venues capable of playing under lights - Willow Park and La Trobe in Wodonga and Myrtleford's Savoy Park.

Currently no grounds on the NSW side of the border are at that stage, but Jelbart Park, Melrose Park and Glen Park will all have that capacity very soon.

Albury United and Boomers put in applications through the NSW Asian Cup Legacy Fund in 2018, while Melrose was able to secure a NSW sports grant.

Melrose has three new light poles installed with three more to come, Boomers had enough funding to complete four of the six required, while work has recently commenced for United.

The six-pitch facility at Jelbart Park is home to both Albury United and Albury City and hosts the AWFA cup final day.

Six 30-metre poles with LED lighting will be installed on the western side of the park, where Albury United plays its matches, providing the two main pitches with 100 lux - suitable for hosting night games.

A further two light towers are planned for the Greens' third pitch, adjacent to Lavington Swim Centre, which will be utilised for training.

The cost of the project is around $530,000, plus GST.

Albury United is contributing $180,000 to the project via the Asian Cup grant and club funds, AWFA has put forward $25,000 and Albury Council will look after the remainder, which includes a $150,000 grant.

President Terri-Anne Scott said the upgrades further cement Albury United's desire to continue playing at Jelbart Park.

"As a club, we think the lights will only add to community sport and that's why we were happy to go ahead with it," she said.

"Hundreds and hundreds of hours have gone into this and we're hopefully going to see the light poles go up in the next few weeks."

The same plans are essentially in place for both Glen Park and Melrose Park, with the exception of a training pitch.

"We needed a new transformer put in which was around $80,000 to upgrade the power to the site, so that only left money to do four poles with the new lights," Boomers senior coach and secretary Andrew Grove said.

Melrose vice-president Chad Thomson revealed the next stage for the club is to replace lighting at changeroom end with 30-metre poles and install a third pole to replicate what has been done at the bottom of the park, with the aim of it being completed by the end of the year.

AWFA provided Melrose with an additional $5000 this week.

"The AWFA clubs are investing in the infrastructure for our game around the community," AWFA president Mark Leman added.

"The benefits are the opportunity to play more night games in the future and provide better training facilities for players, especially juniors, so they can have a quality training session with full lights."
