Feedback and next steps

We thank the community for having their say during the trial. Survey results have been consolidated and will help to determine the most suitable and cost-effective options for a permanent light design and placement.

The temporary lights will remain in the parks, and Council is now utilising feedback to design a solution for permanent lights in the Foreshore to be delivered in the 2024/2025 budget.

View the lighting trial's consultation report and consultation summary.


Council installed 30 temporary solar-powered lights in Hansen, Lions, Case and Barker Parks in Bowen in December 2023 to improve use, visibility and pedestrian safety along the pathways.

Consultation was open to residents and visitors via an online survey from Monday 27 May – Sunday 30 June 2024 to seek feedback from the community about the temporary lights, their placement and if they have improved use and safety for park users.
