LOCALS and visitors can celebrate New Year’s Eve with a bang at three locations across the Sunshine Coast, with family friendly timings and the return of the midnight fireworks display.
Sunshine Coast Council is re-introducing its midnight fireworks display in Mooloolaba, alongside other traditional events.
Council is supporting four fireworks displays at three locations; Coolum at 8.30pm, Caloundra at 9.30pm and Mooloolaba at 8.30pm and midnight.
The early fireworks in Caloundra and Coolum will be part of family-friendly celebrations. In Mooloolaba, the two displays will be fired from an offshore barge and will be visible from multiple viewing points, from Maroochydore Beach to Point Cartwright.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said she was delighted to see the midnight fireworks return to Mooloolaba. “Last year our community told us they wanted to see midnight fireworks return and we listened,” Mayor Natoli said.
