Perth's Australia Day Skyworks will proceed next year following weeks of uncertainty and a report by City of Perth staff recommending the event be cancelled.

An earlier council report had called for it to be cancelled or minimisedThe City of Perth commissioners voted unanimously in favour of the 250,000-person event at a meeting on Tuesday night, following support from WA Premier Mark McGowan.

The commissioners agreed to proceed with the events provided no physical distancing was required when they are held. The report showed that should all three events be cancelled at late notice, it would cost the city more than $3.7 million. The report also outlined that planning for the Australia Day Skyworks event should ideally begin 10 months out, and at the latest should have started last Friday.Lifting of restrictions a difference-maker

It's 6 months away. Let's just get through July before we worry about January shall we ❓🙄

Are you talking about next year?

How about a drone light show, instead ? That would be way more cool.

Maybe get back to us a few days prior to Australia day when it might be relevant

What risks?

Try predicting what’s going to happen in 7 days before you go reporting what’s going to happen in 7 months.

7 months away...

Maybe the east coast should look at that GST share we give them.

ABC showing their true colours. Nothing to do with the Chinese Wuhan Virus, but everything to do with their Anti-white agenda.

No risks when we've got it under control, big boy state.

Going by the daily toll we could all be dead by fucken then don't you think?

The ABC will hate this 🙄🇦🇺

Early call?
