Common sense has prevailed. The Lord Mayor has sensationally backflipped on her original decision to cancel the iconic family-friendly 9pm New Year’s Eve fireworks.
At tonight’s Extraordinary Council Meeting we will be voting to reinstate the 9pm fireworks with extra support from the State Government to ensure a safe and successful event.
This is a great result not only for the people of Sydney, but the businesses of the CBD that have been brought to their knees by lockdowns. Businesses have made it clear that they need events like the 9pm fireworks to help bring life back to the city by showing Sydney is safe and open and that everyone is welcome.
