Works Notice - Light Poles at Meade Street and Bourke Street Roundabouts Undergoing Maintenance

GENERAL UPDATE: 31 March 2025

Work is progressing on the restoration of the light poles at the Meade Street and Bourke Street Roundabouts. Due to the need for custom-made components and specialised restoration, the lights are expected to remain dismantled for approximately six weeks.

Once again, we appreciate the community’s patience as this work is completed.

As part of the Glen Innes Town Centre Beautification Project, Council will be temporarily removing the light poles at the Meade Street (Post Office) and Bourke Street (Coles) roundabouts on Grey Street on 18 March 2025 for essential maintenance. The poles will be sandblasted and repainted to ensure their longevity and upkeep, especially alongside the newly installed plants and cauldrons.

We recognise the significance of these fixtures - the light pole on Meade Street is mounted to the ANZAC memorial, while the one on Bourke Street features a heritage theme. To reassure the community, the colour of the poles will not be changed, and there will be no impact to surrounding street lighting during the maintenance period.

Additionally, with the Bourke Street light pole temporarily dismantled, our team will take the opportunity to replace the smashed globes.

The light poles are expected to be reinstated within two weeks. We appreciate the community’s patience as we carry out this maintenance.
