🌅 Early Start for an Important Cause 🌅

At 3am yesterday morning, team members from Ballarat Tree Fella joined forces with the team from Smart Electrical to carry out vital lighting repairs on the Arch of Victory — one of Ballarat’s most iconic landmarks.

With heavy traffic flowing through the Arch during the day, employees from both companies along with the traffic controllers from BCivil, were more than happy to start early to ensure the work could be completed safely and with the least possible disruption to traffic. It was a privilege to be part of this project, and our team were proud to contribute to maintaining such an important symbol of remembrance in our city.

The timing was especially important, with Anzac Day being around the corner. We’re honoured to play a small role in helping the Arch shine bright as our community gathers to pay tribute to the courage, sacrifice and legacy of our Anzacs.

Lest we forget. 🌺

Always keeping busy by day and sometimes by night when needed for emergencies. Unbelievable effort by the crew tonight removing 2 large hazardous trees likely to fall over the highway and powerlines if not removed immediately.
