01.01.2022 Unfortunately, due to the associated risks and uncertainty related to Covid-19, Council have made the tough decision to cancel the New Year's Eve Fireworks Display in Robe for this year. The priority being the health and safety of our community, the possible economic risks as well as the inability to host a COVID safe event were all factors which lead to this decision. Council understand the disappointment this cancellation will cause, however we look forward to bringing back the New Year's Eve Fireworks display in Robe next year (2021/2022).
