Our Projects
Town Free WiFi
TABA provides a free WIFI service in the CBD to entice people to stay in town and enhance their experience.
Under Eave Lighting.
After a concerted effort with fund raising, the under-eave lighting project has now been successfully completed.
This has given new life to the shops on Whitaker Street and has made walking through town at night even more enjoyable, with people now feeling safe and secure.
