PERTH city council is looking to spend $95,000 to light up 15 trees in East Perth.

The $6000-per-tree idea for Royal Street was raised at a recent meeting. A staff report shies away from recommending yea or nay but does note, “the expansion of lighting in trees is very costly and is problematic in a number of areas”. The PCC’s also considering spending $195,000 on a nativity to be performed by Spirit Productions. Last Christmas the three-day event was packed, with the final night squeezing in 4500.
