'Don't make us the pariah': fireworks industry hits back at NYE drone plan

that the City of Sydney is canvassing a plan to launch hundreds of drones into the sky in place of the fireworks.The story made waves worldwide, with the eyes of around one billion people watching on New Year's Eve as Sydney’s fireworks extravaganza is beamed across the globe.

Coronavirus has dealt an additional blow to the industry in recent weeks as events for Chinese Lunar New Year were cancelled or postponed. The association has taken exception to some of the arguments in Liberal councillor Craig Chung’s motion, calling on the City of Sydney to investigate the drone show option.“Drone shows are gradually becoming more common as alternatives to fireworks displays due to their minimal noise and environmental disruption,” Cr Chung wrote.

But Mr McGill said the comparison was misleading because the lion’s share of Sydney’s new year’s budget is spent on associated costs like crowd control and barges in the harbour.
