On Monday 26  January 2009, Australians will gather to celebrate the nation and culture that we have become. Once again Lotterywest, Channel Seven, MIX 94.5 and the City of Perth are proud to present to Western Australia the largest celebration in the country, Lotterywest Australia Day Celebrations Skyworks 2009.
This will be the 25th Skyworks for the people of Perth and indeed the people who travel from around the State to view the spectacular display of fireworks unlike any previously seen in Western Australia.
This is an event that requires City  officers to work closely with Australia Day event organisers and the City of Perth to manage the impact of the event on local residents. The City has responded to your feedback from previous years events to improve the event management through the Safer Australia Day Strategy for 2009.
This year, an internationally renowned Explosive Entertainment team that provided the magnificent fireworks at the recent Commonwealth Games has been appointed to create an incredible kaleidoscope of colour and light to thrill and excite everyone. Expect to find an audience of 300,000 people joining you on the foreshore to celebrate this fantastic milestone.   
The spectacular event will be captured by the many Channel Seven camera’s in strategic locations around the foreshore and telecast later in the evening for anyone that was unable to get to there or even those who want to rush home and relive the magic moment again.  
Skyworks Family Zone
Skyworks 2009 will mark the launch of an exiting new Australia Day experience for families on the South Perth Foreshore, with the support of Lotterywest.
