The 4th of 21 street lamps installed as part of Mischa Kuball’s Solidarity Grid.
It was installed in 2013.
The city of Adelaide has donated a Kip Retrofit LED lamp post as its contribution to Solidarity Grid. These same lamp posts play an important role in illuminating Adelaide’s cultural boulevard, North Terrace, where visitors can view some of the best-preserved heritage architecture in Australia.
Adelaide and Christchurch are sister cities, a relationship that was formalised in 1972 with the intention of building the trade and tourism links between the cities.
Stephen Yarwood, the Lord Mayor of Adelaide (2010-2014) said, ‘The City of Adelaide is pleased to donate a streetlamp to Christchurch as part of Solidarity Grid, to help light the way for residents and visitors to Christchurch. These are the same lights that are helping improve the safety and accessibility of our city. We are delighted to offer a symbol of our friendship during the rebuild of the city after the earthquakes.’
