Honiara City Councillor for Vura Ward, Rolland Konai, has successfully delivered solar-powered street lights to four communities, Green Valley, Vura Two Heights, Vura 1 Heights, and Zion Mud Land.
A total of 33 solar street light posts, costing just over $30,000, have been installed to improve safety and security in areas that were previously dark and vulnerable, a statement from the Honiara City Council (HCC) on Friday last week said.
The initiative aims to deter unwanted activities and provide a safer environment for families, children, and residents moving around at night.
Councillor Konai said proper lighting is essential for community wellbeing, noting that the project not only improves visibility but also fosters safety, unity, and confidence among residents.
Community members have welcomed the project, expressing gratitude for its positive impact.
The solar-powered system also supports renewable energy use, making it environmentally friendly, the statement said.
This milestone marks another step in building safer, brighter, and more resilient communities within Vura Ward.
