NEW lighting is now showing the way at the entrances to Wedderburn.
Retired electronics technician Alan Mulraney and Dale Jackson have installed lights to complete a Wedderburn Development Association town sign project.
The pair designed the system and obtained all of the parts, retired carpenter Graeme Morgan made the control boxes and Turf Engineering made the posts for the solar panels and the covers for the lights.
Dale and Alan, along with WDA member Darryl Arnott carried out the installation.
The lights have been set to come on at dusk and turn off at 12.30am.
The total cost of the project was $60,000 which was funded from the WDA’s annual allocation from the Loddon Shire of $50,000.
Alan said the second stage of the project was to install lights at the signs so that they could be seen at night.
“This has been completed at a cost of $3,500 and was done entirely by local community members,” he said.
“This has resulted in an estimated saving of over $2000 as compared to hiring contractors. The work of volunteers has again benefitted our community.”
