A COMMUNITY crowdfunding campaign has been launched to bring the New Years Eve fireworks back to Lorne to help ring in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Committee for Lorne (CFL) announced last week, via its column in the Surf Coast Times, the hopeful return of the fireworks after its success last year.<\/p>\n

The Surf Coast Shire chose not to renew the Lorne fireworks in 2022 after a two-year pandemic related absence.<\/p>\n

CFL and the Lorne Business and Tourism Association are hopeful of securing at least $20,000 of support from the local community and key stakeholders to put on two fireworks displays.<\/p>\n

The first show would be at 9:30pm to maximise viewing for children and families, and the second, a “headline” midnight show to welcome in 2025.<\/p>\n

Committee for Lorne member Pete Spring said the committee were confident of securing the “magic funding figure” from stakeholders and the Lorne community.<\/p>\n

“It was very well received last year, and the fundraising was very successful. We got donations anywhere from $20 to $500 last year.<\/p>\n

“We are pretty confident if it goes as we expect, the fundraiser can give us what we need again.”<\/p>\n

Mantra Lorne, Great Ocean Road Real Estate and Lorne Aquatic and Angling Club have already pledged significant financial support to the event.<\/p>\n

The Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority has also elected to waive permit fees and offer venue management and logistics support.<\/p>\n

“We are so excited to bring it back to Lorne. It’s a great community event,” Mr Spring said.<\/p>\n

“If we exceed the $20,000 figure, it will just be rolled over to bring it back again in 2026!”<\/p>\n
