Afghans up in lights

By CAM LUCADOU-WELLS

AN Afghan community leader has called for signage to crown the $1.1 million Afghan Bazaar precinct in Dandenong.
Khaliq Fazal, president of the Afghan Australian Association of Victoria, said the “significant” precinct needed signs to identify it to passers-by.
“If you’re going to spend so much money on it, you should install signs at each end to define the precinct.”
Greater Dandenong Council’s business group manager Paul Kearsley said extensive consulation had been done on the precinct’s “unique design and highly visual, culturally-themed elements”.
He said $900,000 had been allocated in the council’s draft 2014-’15 budget for stage two works to “strengthen” the theme.
