Location: Goulburn Mulwaree Council (GMC) – Wollondilly River Walking Track
Client: Goulburn Mulwaree Council (GMC), Australia
Product Used: AE3C 80W
Overview:
In 2018, the GMC was awarded a $500,000 Federal Sport and Recreation Grant for the embellishment at their Wollondilly River Walking Track. The majority of the funding is for the provision of solar-powered lighting to illuminate 4.0 kilometers of this shared pathway. This had been a result of community consultation wanting to engage in more healthy activity, particularly at night. The 2.0-meter wide concrete path starts at Marsdents weir and meanders its way along the picturesque Wollondilly River through a series of pedestrian bridges ending at the Kenmore Bridge (including a recently constructed 200m long Steel Span Bridge).
Requirements:
There’s a 400-meter section of the path that had a very dense tree canopy. And the solar-powered lighting system needs to have wireless control option allowing remote monitoring.
Our Solution:
Over this distance, there are 116x solar-powered AE3C series systems installed. And each LED light is equipped with PIR (motion detection) and also equipped with Leadsun Edge wireless communications for remote monitoring.
Comments:
“Council’s use of sustainable energy options reflects community expectations,” Mr. Taylor said.
“There is an increasing awareness that we can all do our bit to reduce carbon emission across a broad range of smaller-scale projects and in our individual lives.
“Along with many Goulburn residents, I enjoy running this track early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The lights will be a great addition to the course, particularly in winter.”
-Local Federal Member, Angus Taylor (Minister for Energy)
