One of the organisers of the group is BT committee member Alan Whykes. The initiative was mentioned in The Mercury 12 August. A public meeting will be held Sunday 17 August to seek community input.

Andreas, the land is currently owned by TasRail. There is no technical reason why the area could not be lit, as there are certainly power cables in the vicinity.
All those interested should come to the next Lutana Link meeting (Sunday 14 September 3.30pm at Goodwood) and ask their questions directly, or keep following lutanalink.wordpress.com for updates.
