Balmoral Lighting Upgrade

Works to replace streetlights at Balmoral are expected to start in July, for completion before the summer season.

Existing lights will be replaced with LED technology to enhance efficiency, with a projected 40 per cent energy saving.

Lighting has been designed to be contained to pathways to reduce light spill, so as not to disturb surrounding homes and wildlife.

Under-seat lighting will also be added to existing concrete benches to increase amenity.

Balmoral’s promenade will get a lighting upgrade ahead of summer.

Sydney Film Festival

Movie buffs will have plenty of options for cinema viewing in the week ahead, from new arthouse offerings to classics screened in a social setting.

The Sydney Film Festival is on at the Orpheum until 16 June, with a documentary on tennis ace Roger Federer, a film starring Australia’s own Rose Byrne alongside Robert De Niro, and the world premiere of Aussie film Kid Snow among the highlights.

On 18 June, Mosman Square Seniors Centre is showing the classic Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, at its monthly Tuesday Brunch Club.
