Territory Day fireworks celebrations will be moved from Mindil Beach, where the display has been held for the last 20 years, to the Waterfront for this year’s celebrations, Northern Territory Major Events has declared, but a proper explanation has still not been offered.
Major Events Minister Brent Potter issued a statement on Tuesday morning to officially announce the fireworks display would move to Fort Hill Parklands at the Darwin Waterfront for this year, adding the government will begin work now to “ensure Mindil Beach can welcome us back next year”.
I don’t think a permit is required as nobody is going to work on the “site” as in do something to the site. In any event it is not a Lasrrakia site, it has been a Tiwi site for over 90 years
Bye Bye Labour!
I guess 40 years in the political wilderness is what Labour deserves!
The Aboriginal Protection Authority (APA) has confirmed there was no complaint lodged it is non-sense being spread by Minister Potter. APA have also confirmed that they have not changed their rules or policies and that Minister Potter knows that the permit is desirable but not mandatory. APA says the event could of gone ahead as planned but the Minister made the decision to change venues.
As a Waterfront resident of a decade many do not want this huge event. Once again no NTG ALP or DWC Board Consultation? Follow the money, this bunch of goons are deliberately killing small business. The public should revolt as ALP are gaslighting with lies & misinformation.
