9/08 CAM RIVER RESERVE – TREE LIGHTING – MRS L NEWMAN
(607.08)
Mrs Lesley Newman of Somerset has written suggesting that spot lights or
fairy lights be installed on trees and on the “Port Maldon” boat structure in the
Cam River Reserve to enhance the appearance of the area at night to passing
motorists, particularly tourists.
OFFICERS COMMENT
Floodlighting is now commonly used throughout the State to highlight
significant buildings and specimen trees and it does provide an effective
means of showcasing local features to the travelling public.
In the case of the trees and boat structure in the Cam River Reserve, they are a
reasonable distance from the Bass Highway and floodlighting is more likely to
merely enhance general ambience than showcase the selected features,
nevertheless it is suggested that Mrs Newman’s suggestion does warrant
further evaluation by Council staff and that a report be provided for Council
consideration.
