Milestones

Why are we doing this?

Lighting 

The existing green colour goose neck lights between Elwood canal and public toilet are at the end of their useful life. We have now completed the streetlight replacement works at foreshore. New energy efficient LEDs lights are now illuminating the footpath and cycle path providing a safe environment for all users at Elwood Foreshore.

Revegetation

We are now entering phase two of the project - revegetating the site with native species. Planting is due to begin in Autumn 2024 which will provide plants with the optimum environment to thrive.  

While we are planting, this site will be cordoned off. Please do not interfere with these areas to ensure that the vegetation have a healthy chance to thrive during this delicate period.

The impact

The area will be cordoned off during planting in Autumn 2024. 

Objectives

The new lighting on the foreshore will provide:

  • a well-lit footpath and cycle path
  • a beautiful foreshore with thriving native plant life
  • promote safe environment at foreshore
  • more energy efficient LED lighting that uses less electricity.
