Lighting technology brings vibrancy to the Hobart waterfront - Tasmania

The Hobart waterfront has experienced a renaissance in recent years, which has put it on the map for cultural visitors and seafarers alike. The first stage in redeveloping the public space areas, from Sullivan's Cove to Princess Wharf, included a new lighting scheme using state-of-the-art luminaires from WE-EF LIGHTING supplied by Southern Lighting & Distribution.

The twice-yearly festivals hosted by the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) have gone a long way to attract visitors to the area, which encompasses Constitution Dock, the finishing line for the famous annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. "In fact," says Stuart Hamilton from Southern Lighting, "We had more cruise ships in Hobart last year than Sydney. "Hobart waterfront is really growing as a place to visit and has turned the corner in the past few years. The new lighting is certainly adding to the experience that more and more tourists are enjoying," he said. "It's vibrant with so many of people there, and because of the quality and uniformity of the lighting it feels safe. It's easy to get around and there aren't the dark patches that previously existed."

However, it was not a project that happened overnight. There were many local authorities involved. Eventually, when the old, rusted poles needed to be replaced, a new design by Simon Gullifer at Rexel Holdings Australia was developed.

The superior optics and efficiency of the luminaires, the pole and luminaire design, and most importantly their ability to withstand the harsh and corrosive environment of the Hobart harbour, made the WE-EF products the optimum choice.
