February 20 2019 EnergyAustralia, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Yarra Park today announced a partnership to light the way for people travelling through the heart of Melbourne's sporting and entertainment precinct. The companies are behind the installation of twelve solar-powered light poles fitted with CCTV cameras, which will operate 24-hours-a-day, in Yarra Park, between MCG gates two and three.
The new 5.5-metre-high lights supplied by Saferoads will enhance the safety of Yarra Park for people after dark, said Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) CEO Stuart Fox.“Improving safety in Yarra Park is very important to us and we’re pleased to work with EnergyAustralia on this energy-themed initiative to help deliver a safer environment for local residents, MCG fans and other park users,” Mr Fox said.
