The quotation involves the expenditure of $25,600 for the signage box, $9,800 for lighting the
fig trees and $6,600 for provision of two 'vintage' street lights at the entrance to the street (a
total of $42,000).
The quotation requires the Town to deliver concrete for the plinth, power to the signage box and
exact text for the signage. The Town's Infrastructure Services have advised that the cost of
connecting the box would only be a few hundred dollars. Therefore the project can be
completed within budget (noting that the remainder of the $50,000 budget has been spent on
developing the concept designs to this stage).
