Brightening the Maningrida community

A total of 22 new LED solar lights have been installed throughout the Maningrida community recently. 
Proudly funded by the Maningrida Local Authority, this street lighting project is fundamental to community safety and the well-being of local residents.
West Arnhem Regional Council works crew in Maningrida carried out the project and installation which took around two week to complete.
The lights were positioned in strategic locations which were selected by the Local Authority, to brighten previously unlit areas around the community.
This will ultimately increase community safety and help deter anti-social behaviour in public areas.
The project involved the use of a hydro vacuum unit to excavate the foundations to a specific depth to avoid damaging existing underground services. An excavator was then used to complete the foundation depth to 1800mm depth. The works crew put the poles in place and mounted the lights with a scissor lift.
West Arnhem Regional Council wishes to thank the Local Authority members for supporting this project.
