The streets of Mackay are set to become a magical, fairy light-filled wonderland.
FireFly Lighting, on behalf of council, will be installing fairy lights in the centre median gardens along Wood and Victoria streets over the next few weeks.
15 palm trees and three street trees will be illuminated as part of the project, said Mackay Regional Council Mayor Greg Williamson.
“We have received a number of requests from local businesses to increase the number of illuminated trees in the City Centre,” Mr Williamson said.
“The fairy lights will help create an inviting and ambient atmosphere for residents and visitors supporting City Centre restaurants and businesses and they will improve safety in the area.
“The lights will also complement the recent public realm work completed as part of the Mackay Waterfront project and will improve the street appeal of the CBD as a whole.”
Due to safety requirements and machinery movements, the installation of the fairy lights will require road closures.
Pedestrian access will not be affected and laneways will be accessible via traffic controllers onsite.
The works will be completed in four stages to reduce impacts to businesses in the area between the hours of 7am and 5pm and road closures will be in place during working hours only.
The taxi rank in Wood Street will also be temporarily moved to the overflow taxi rank in the centre median strip on Wood Street during the works.
