THE UNLIT sections of pathway between Elsie Jones Drive and WB Ferrari Park Recreation Reserve entrance, along the Midland Highway in Mooroopna, are going to be illuminated with new smart solar lights.
The lighting will operate from dusk till dawn and light levels will automatically adjust depending on activity along the path. These lights are designed to improve safety and security, extend functioning hours of outdoor education and use of public assets, increase inclusion and accessibility, all while using environmentally friendly lighting.
This infrastructure not only utilises renewable energy, but by automatically adjusting light levels to suit the needs of path users, it will also reduce the impact of light pollution.
Watters Electrical Pty Ltd commenced works on Tuesday, with an expected completion by Friday, April 12. Traffic management are in place with minimal disruptions expected during the installation.
