- Sustainable Street Lights For Boronia
Around 500 street lights on main roads in Boronia have been replaced with energy efficient LEDs.
These lighting upgrades will reduce up to 2,900 tonnes of greenhouse gases over the next 20 years.
Other benefits of LED street lights include providing more reliable and uniform light at night, improving the amenity and sense safety in local streets, reducing energy costs, and lowering maintenance costs due to its longer lifespan.
This initiative is part of Boronia Revitalisation Project, and supported by our Climate Response Plan 2021-2031, which aims to reduce greenhouse emissions in our community.
A total of $410,000 has been invested into this Boronia streetlight replacement project, with the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions providing a grant of $100,000, and Council contributing $310,000.
These works are a continuation of our street light replacement project. Since 2016, we have replaced 10,600 street lights with energy efficient LED globes.
Council is planning to upgrade street lights to LEDs across remaining major roads in Knox, including Burwood Highway, and High street.
