Balpara was engaged by Hume City Council as part of a streetscape upgrade on Fawkner Street, incorporating safety lighting assessment and design at stage 1.
The work for this project was undertaken in Fawkner Street, between Mickleham Road and Ardlie Street. Fawkner Street is a collector road that includes the Fawkner Street Village shops and is a main connection to the residential properties and road network within Westmeadows. The precinct has a distinct heritage character as well as a strong relationship to the natural features of the Moonee Ponds creek corridor, which was taken into consideration in the design.
Balpara completed a safety lighting assessment and design for functional and feature lighting at this first stage of the project.
Balpara completed a safety lighting assessment and design for functional and feature lighting, established the power supply and servicing requirements, and project managed the installation of lighting.
Lighting Assessment
Concept & Detail Design
Balpara directly interfaced with Jemena on behalf of the council to streamline the pole relocation process as we have a long-standing relationship with the power authority. Through Balpara's feature lighting design we engineered an aesthetic outcome to include up light of trees, LED strip lighting on benches, tables and chairs. This will result in a safe and visually enjoyable shopping precinct at night.
