GREATER Shepparton City Council, in collaboration with local company Byers Electrical, has recently installed 64 new pedestrian lights along the shared pathway surrounding Victoria Park Lake. These lights have been synchronised to change colour, creating an impressive visual display. This lighting upgrade complements the previous works carried out in 2018 and 2019 to enhance safety and visibility on the shared pathway network around the lake precinct. The improvements align with the actions outlined in the Precinct Master Plan.
Gary Randhawa, the Director of Infrastructure at the Greater Shepparton City Council, expressed his enthusiasm for the lighting enhancements. He acknowledged the high usage of the shared path network by residents and visitors to the region and emphasised the popularity of the Victoria Park Lake space while highlighting that the LED lighting installed is more energy-efficient than the previous infrastructure.
“The strip lighting within each pole is programmed to change colour at night which is an added feature we think really enhances the entire lake precinct,” said Mr Randhawa.
“We hope the community enjoy the colourful light display which this upgrade has provided and we hope the new lighting encourages more residents to utilise the space in the mornings and evenings.”
