Next steps

The Event Report 2023/2024 was endorsed by Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on the 8 August 2023. The report explained our flagship events for 2023/2024 which will be a New Years’ Eve Fireworks and Lights/Laser Event at Semaphore, a Christmas Parade at Port Adelaide, and the previously endorsed Dockside Festival. We will also seek to develop a flagship winter event for 2024/2025.

The report included an engagement report summarising all of the feedback we heard from our community, and a calendar of events for 2023/2024 built around the feedback we received and aligning with our key priorities outlined in our Placemaking Model and Activation Principles.
