SOLAR LIGHTING
Council has been installing solar outdoor lighting to ensure public places such as car parks are well-lit and safer at night.
Solar is a great way to preserve energy and reduce the carbon footprint. With rising energy costs, solar lighting helps
Council to reduce energy bills and be more cost-efficient.
EARLY YEARS HUBS The high-quality solar lighting at Liberty Reserve car park provides extensive lighting and enhances the aesthetics of
the area. More solar lighting is planned for Council parks and reserves, including Tormore Reserve pathway lighting

early 2019. The Wantirna South building will be complete at the end of November, with furnishing and set-up for operation
to follow. The Bayswater Early Years Hub is due to be completed early next year. These solar lights are part of Council’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure provision which includes other items
such as solar panels for pavilions and LED lighting upgrades.
The Wantirna South facility is due to open from 16 January and Bayswater on 26 March. For enrolment details visit

FLOATING FOOTPATHS
Works were recently completed
on the new ‘floating footpath’
along Burwood Highway in
Wantirna South to complete the
missing link between Eastlink
and Stud Road. This section of
the shared path passes through
an area of significant vegetation,
so the ‘floating’ design helps to
preserve the roots of nearby trees
that provide important habitat
to rosellas, lorikeets and other
species.
MODULAR BUILDINGS
PARKS AND RESERVES
As part of Council’s commitment to support an active and healthy community we are pleased to announce the opening of
the new Modular buildings at Batterham Reserve in The Basin and Knox Gardens Reserve in Wantirna South.
