People passing by the Queens Park Theatre (QPT) at night may have noticed the building has had a glow up, with the installation of new lighting fixtures now complete.
The works, which were conducted as part of the City of Greater Geraldton’s capital renewals program, saw the outdated exterior lights replaced with state-of-the-art technology.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn said the upgrade brings the QPT in line with other national landmarks.
“Here at the City we routinely receive requests from the public to turn the QPT different colours as a show of support for certain causes,” he said.
“We were very limited in what we could do with the previous lighting structure, which had reached end of life and was starting to experience technical difficulties.
“The new system boasts 60-degree lens filters and the ability to assign every fixture a different colour to create custom lighting designs that support awareness or themed occasions.”
The 30 new lighting fixtures are a performance exterior linear Graze luminaire and are controlled by a modern interface that simplifies the customisation process.
QPT staff are working with Council to put in place an application process for community causes to ensure they align with the City’s values.
The new lighting system was installed by TLS Productions.
Mayor Shane Van Styn (L), Cr. Parker, Cr. Tanti, Cr. Reymond, Cr. Keemink, Cr. Clune, Cr. Hall and Cr. Librizzi take a moment to inspect the upgrade.
