MORE light has been shed on how the Orange community will bring the New Year, literally.
Mayor Reg Kidd used a mayoral minute at the Orange City Council meeting on Tuesday night to push for an annual pledge to a family home evening of entertainment on December 31, featuring a laser light show, Orange musicians and walking tours.
“Following on from a very successful last year,” said Cr Kidd.
Last year’s celebrations were replaced with a paid event at Wade Park after COVID-19 restrictions forced the community party to be canceled at Waratah Sportsground, with the laser show replacing the fireworks.
While councilors recognized that a commitment to this event would require an outside party to manage it, council had the option of providing assistance and funding.
Cr Kidd said he was confident the council could attract funds from the NSW government’s COVID recovery programs.
“I think the idea is fair to show the community that we will always have a community event.
“Laser shows are the way to go, they don’t have to be as grandiose as they were last year, they are getting cheaper and cheaper to put on, and pair them with local artists and music.
“It’s just to add something to this advice and the ongoing advice that we are hosting an event for New Years Eve.”
The meeting supported the project.
“A year ago it started with the fireworks, it was a success and we had a lot of business coming up and everyone was looking forward to this New Years celebration,” Cr Jason said. Hamling. “We don’t have the Christmas party in the streets anymore and I think the laser show, we don’t have to worry about the fire bans, or the rural fire department and fireworks in the houses. .
“It’s also a good way to introduce some of our local bands, we have a lot of talent here.”
The commitment to the family New Year’s celebration was the first of Mayor Cr Kidds’ minutes with the second, the formation of a community advisory committee to work on the creation of a sculpture park for Orange, also supported unanimously Tuesday.
