Do you enjoy the Christmas and New Year's Eve Fireworks displays held around Bass Coast? Would you like to see the festive celebrations look differently in the future?
Bass Coast Shire Council is seeking feedback on fireworks displays held as part of Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. Your feedback will help shape how we celebrate the festive season for 2025 and beyond.
In 2022, we committed to holding fireworks displays as part of the Cowes Christmas Carols and New Year's Eve celebrations in Inverloch, Coronet Bay and Cowes for three years up until 2024. We're evaluating the impact and benefits of these events on our community to shape what celebrations will look like in the future.
In addition to community and visitor feedback, Council is also gathering information on the environmental and economic impacts of fireworks, plus events held around these displays.
The aim of this consultation is to balance the needs of residents, business owners, visitors and our environment, while also creating a vibrant destination for all to enjoy.
Upcoming fireworks displays are being held in Bass Coast on New Year's Eve at:
Coronet Bay: Tuesday, 31 December at 9.30pm
Cowes: Tuesday, 31 December at 9.30pm
Inverloch: Tuesday, 31 December at 9.30pm
Once consultation has finished the feedback will help to form a recommendation for how Council celebrates the end of the year, and if fireworks are included, after 2024.
