The Melbourne City Council in Australia has proposed a scheme to upgrade its public lighting over a period of 10 years, according to the article 'Melbourne plans public lighting upgrade' by lighting.co.uk (20th Aug). Illumination of landmarks and landscapes is hoped to enhance the city’s skyline and promote Melbourne as a 24-hour city. The council also aims to improve safety, “so that places that are attractive by day will remain safe, comfortable and engaging after dark,” states the plan.
