As part of council's annual Easter program, there will be fireworks on Saturday, April 4 at 8.30pm at Cato Park in Stawell. While we know many people love fireworks, we appreciate many of our pets do not. You can find some helpful tips from the RSPCA about caring for your pets during fireworks, here.
Please be aware there will be an 'exclusion zone' in place at the park 15 minutes prior to the fireworks and throughout the fireworks display. This will result in the toilet block, playground and some of the walking tracks being closed. Access to each side of the lake would need to be via the walking track on the Napier Street side of the lake.
