Lighting up community
These upgrades included the installation of new energy-efficient LED lights, and replacing the old timber low-level lighting. The new lighting meets AFL standards and supports participation, inclusion, and community pride. Thank you to members of the committees for their ongoing support of these projects as well as:
- Local Roads and Community Infrastructure
- Sport and Recreation Victoria
- Lindenow South Recreation Reserve
- Lindenow South Football Netball Club
- Wy Yung Football Netball Club and Wy Yung Junior Football Netball Club
With strong community involvement at both reserves, these improvements will allow for better use of the grounds, day and night.
