Horizon Power, has announced an illuminating initiative to enhance street safety in Carnarvon.
The Carnarvon Safer Streets project, a collaborative effort with the Western Australian Police Force and the Shire of Carnarvon, represents a $200,000 investment from Horizon Power, in public safety and community well-being.
The initiative will replace 31 outdated streetlights and introduce 41 additional lights in the Brockman area, aiming to bolster night-time visibility, reduce anti-social behaviour, and foster a secure atmosphere for Carnarvon's residents. This proactive measure was inspired by the WA Police's proposal, following Horizon Power's successful lighting upgrade in Derby.
Mike Houlahan, Horizon Power's Chief Financial Officer, expressed the company's enthusiasm: "Collaborating with our community partners to achieve positive outcomes is a source of great pride for us. These efforts contribute to safer living spaces and the overall vibrancy of our communities."
At Horizon Power, we are committed to creating safer, more vibrant communities. And with the Carnarvon Safer Streets initiative, we’re turning that commitment into action.
