More than $500,000 in contracts was awarded by Greater Shepparton City Council at its August council meeting.
Local company Watters Electrical was awarded $281,204 to install tree bud lighting in Shepparton and Tatura.
Tree bud lighting will be installed on trees in Hogan St, Tatura; Wyndham St, Shepparton, between High and Fryers streets; and High St near Corio St.
Lights have already been installed in parts of Fryers and High streets in Shepparton, as well as McLennan St in Mooroopna, and in Murchison.
“Council has received a huge amount of positive feedback on the bud lighting that has already been installed across Greater Shepparton,” Mayor Shane Sali said.
“It improves the streetscape at night and creates a more welcoming environment for residents, visitors and traders in the area.
“We look forward to seeing more bud lighting installed in our smaller towns for community members to enjoy.”
A contract for $105,156.48 was awarded to Heritage Concepts, which allows council to provide a free heritage advisory service to property owners.
A total of $141,438 was awarded to Traffix Group to prepare a traffic impact assessment for three future industrial growth corridors in Mooroopna North, Shepparton North and Lemnos.
