Banner system in Cygnet

Banners to add festivity to the Cygnet township, promote events or simply add a touch of colour will now be available thanks to newly installed banner tracks.

The installation has been a joint project of the Cygnet Association and the Huon Valley Council. On Thursday, June 15, Michelle Churchill, Community Liaison Officer of the Huon Valley Council, showed the Cygnet Association committee members how to hoist banners on the new tracks.

There are nine banner poles, four at each end of the township and one in front of the Town Hall. Banner tracks are used to keep banners straight and eliminate sagging, holding banners neatly and securely.

The Cygnet Association said the vastly better system will enable local organisations to create their own appropriate banners to be hoisted to announce their activities.
