After 20-years of lighting up the sky at Mindil Beach, the Territory Day fireworks display is changing locations.

However, the Authority’s CEO Benedict Scambary says they had no part in the decision, it’s not compulsory to have a certificate and they haven’t had an application for one.

Work is now underway to ensure Mindil Beach can hold the event again in 2025.
