“The LED upgrade will give us more opportunities to design and produce creative light shows, which we are all really excited about,” said Nicole Hill, Head of Marketing at the Melbourne Star.

The attraction often gets behind major events such as the Grand Final and Lunar New Year in addition to lighting up for 25 charity fundraisers in the past year alone.
