Question Unusual lighting/antenna at Melbourne

Driving past Melbourne airport recently (from Bulla), I noticed (maybe) new & odd stuff a little north of the threshold of runway 16. It looked like a row of black steel boxes open at the top (?), distinctly sawtoothed top edges, perhaps a little smaller than a 200l drum, outside one on each side leaning outwards.

Just curious but can anyone enlighten me as to what they are? New lighting? Special antenna? Tree guards? Latest public sculpture? And are they going to start turning up everywhere?

I don't go that way often, so I don't know how recent they are. And I don't fly anything big enough to operate from ML, and there's nothing obvious in the current doco. So I'll risk a stupid question and throw it out to you on this interweb thingy.
