Brisbane City Council plans to allow a permanent light show in the botanic gardens, but there are concerns the Australian-first project is 'commercialising a public asset' and light pollution will impact local wildlife.
"The company has chosen Brisbane as the best and first long-term location in Australia for this unique offering.Cr Adams said because the exotic rainforest section of Mount Coot-tha Botanic Gardens was not currently being used at night, it would be ideal for the Night Walks show.
Cr Sriranganathan says light displays like this one in Singapore could affect Mount Coot-tha's fauna. A post on Mt Coot-tha Protection Alliance Inc's Facebook page attracted almost 30 comments from social media users worried about the effects of the show on the area's wildlife.Night Dreaming would cover the cost of establishing the attraction and maintenance, Cr Adams said.She also confirmed there was "no need to remove one plant or tree or make any material changes to the botanic gardens in any way" in order to facilitate the light show.
