LED streetlights to make Freo shine brighter
More than 160 old streetlights in Fremantle are set to be replaced with modern, energy-efficient LED lights.
Fremantle Council has approved the allocation of $120,000 from a federal government Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Fund grant for the project.
Fremantle Deputy Mayor Andrew Sullivan said replacing the old metal halide streetlights with LEDs will help to reduce the City’s power bills, maintenance costs and carbon emissions.
“Even though they’re owned by Western Power, the City of Fremantle currently pays about $700,000 a year for the power and maintenance of our streetlights, so it’s a substantial cost for us and our ratepayers,” Cr Sullivan said.
