Lights up for festive cheer

Published on 19 December 2017

The Council, in partnership with Schneider Electric (Australia) Pty Ltd, has covered the cypress tree at the Benalla Showgrounds in Christmas lights.

The tree was last lit in 2007 and this year has had all new lights and electrical infrastructure added.

“We are grateful to Mark Seeley and his team at Schneider Electric for helping light the tree,” said Mayor Cr Don Firth.

“It is a great community focal point and we have had so much positive feedback from it.”

The lights will go on at 8.30pm each night and go off at 5am and will operate until mid January.
