$2 million to LED streetlights in 2021/22 Draft Budget as part of Council’s drive towards carbon neutrality
The City of Ballarat will invest $2 million, made up of $500,000 in 2021/22 and $1.5 million carried over from the current budget, into the installation of LED (light emitting diode) streetlights across the municipality’s minor roads network as part of the 2021/22 Draft Budget.
The 2021/22 draft budget includes a range of climate action and emissions reduction initiatives, including $250,000 towards the progression of a business case for a Materials Recovery Facility, $500,000 towards street trees to support Council’s long-term commitment to double the tree canopy across Ballarat by 2040 through the Urban Forest Action Plan, and $10,000 to begin development of a Net-Zero Community Emissions Plan.
