In 1997, Doug designed and developed the award winning, first ever multi-function light pole system known as the Smartpole. He later went on to develop the impact-absorbing frangible Multipole™, the new generation of aluminium multi-function smart poles.
Multipole™ is a multi-function column system that delivers a platform to house and support today’s digital infrastructure growth in the streetscape of urban city centres. As a city develops, information technology is now the principal infrastructure needed to be placed on the streets. As such, we have carefully designed and developed many accessories for the Multipole™ to be attached upon installation or retrofitted over time as necessary. With our in house design capability, own fabrication and assembly facilities, we can provide customers with customized products to personalize their smart city streetscape.
Multipole™ is a product by Goldspar Australia, who design and manufacture a range of park light poles, tapered poles, sporting goal posts, flag poles, banner poles, sailing products, and more.

Read MoreTechnological Reach – Our solution to accommodate these developing technologies is Multipole™, a modular aluminium pole system with Multi-functional ability through an integrated bracketing system that enables many applications to be attached to one pole thus reducing street clutter and allowing for the seamless addition and removal of applications as technology changes over time.
Sustainability – Aluminium light poles have a carbon footprint considerably less than that of a steel equivalent especially over a life span basis. With the ability to be recycled, and being one third the weight of steel, overall cost and labour requirements are reduced.
Minimal Maintenance – Our products boast a low maintenance, transport, labour and installation cost, self-cleaning capabilities, graffiti resistance due to available finishes, and non-corroding aluminium. Additionally, customers have the ability to replace components at a low cost if damaged.
Strength – Our poles are constructed from Marine Grade Series 6000 structural aluminium. This provides a yield strength that matches mild steel for a similar cost. Advanced design, absence of welded joints and extrusion profiles add to the strength. All Multipole™ light poles are independently certified by qualified engineers.
In 1997, Goldspar’s Founder, Doug Rawson-Harris designed and developed the first Multi-Function light pole system known as the Smartpole. This won him the Australian Design Award for Industrial Design in 1998.
