THOUSANDS of people will line the streets of Lorne to watch dazzling fireworks this New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n

The fireworks display will return for the first time in three years and feature two separate shows, one at 9pm and the other at midnight.<\/p>\n

The Committee for Lorne and Lorne Business and Tourism Association have teamed up to raise the funds to put the fireworks show back on at the Lorne Pier.<\/p>\n

The pair have already raised over $5,000 through its GoFundMe and have several large donations still to come through from local businesses and individuals.<\/p>\n

Committee for Lorne member Peter Spring said excitement was high for the return of the event.<\/p>\n

“We thought the community really needed the fireworks, and we are thrilled to be bringing it back,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had strong support from many community members and businesses in town. We are at about 80-100 individual and business donations so far.<\/p>\n

“Because of this, we are very confident we will get both fireworks shows up.<\/p>\n

“It’s always been a highlight of Lorne on New Years Eve. It’s safe, family friendly, and gives off a great ampitheatre atmosphere to watch from home or the foreshore.<\/p>\n

“We can’t wait.”<\/p>\n

Donations or contributions of any kid are welcomed until December 31.<\/p>\n
