Dubbo Fireworks reported talks continued with stakeholders, three days after wild weather forced the event to be abandoned two hours after it started.

On Tuesday the group confirmed it was looking into the possibility of an alternative date, anticipating further announcements next week.

It sparked interest on social media, and on Thursday Dubbo Fireworks committee chairman Peter Judd reaffirmed no alternative arrangements had been confirmed.

“The reports on the date are pure speculation by people who are not even associated with the [Dubbo] Fireworks,” he said.

“There is no date, there is no date at this stage.”

The chairman reported the committee was reviewing what had happened, and when that was done, would look at where it was heading in the future.

“We’re talking to all our stakeholders to get an idea of what they want to do, what we want to do, how we fit them in the plans and when everyone’s singing on the same page, that’s when we’ll make a decision, which will hopefully be next week,” Mr Judd said.

“It’s a huge process, there’s so many stakeholders, we’ve got sponsors, we’ve got supporters, we’ve got volunteer groups who help us out, who actually man the event, all sorts of people.”

Mr Judd reiterated the party had been cancelled, not postponed.

“It was cancelled, we started, and if it had been postponed, we would be much further down the track,” he said.

There was a “massive amount of damage” caused by the strong winds, with the group’s tents copping it, Mr Judd said.

The severe weather not only caused property damage, but was a blow to spirits.

“I would like to say we’re very heartened with the amount of positive feedback we’ve had from the community,” Mr Judd said.

“They certainly understood just how much pain and anguish that we went through because it was 12 months’ worth of work just basically rolled up, smashed in less than half an hour.

“We do thank all the people who have wished us well, and... we appreciate their kind thoughts.”
