Fireworks as usual
30 Nov 2010
Following debate earlier in the year over whether Docklands would host a 9:15pm family fireworks session on New Year’s Eve, Melbourne City Council has confirmed the details of this year’s program.
Chair of the Future Melbourne (Connected City) Committee and co-chair of the Docklands Co-ordination Committee, Cr Kevin Louey, said the 9.15pm fireworks show would run for eight minutes and the midnight fireworks spectacular would run for 10 minutes.
“The 9.15pm family fireworks will be launched from a barge in Victoria Harbour and a midnight spectacular fireworks show will be launched from both the barge in Victoria Harbour and the rooftops of buildings from the CBD to Docklands to welcome the New Year,” Cr Louey said.
Funding for Docklands fireworks comes from the council’s Docklands marketing budget.
