The Bermagui Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism were the recipients of a $3,845 Horizon Bank Community Grant recently which allowed them to organise the Bermagui Star Light Display in the township.

Following the rough last few years of bushfires, floods, lockdowns and more, the Chamber’s aim for their light project was to lift the spirits in the township of Bermagui through the decoration of community buildings & small businesses over the holiday period.

In their application the manager of the Bermagui Visitor Information Centre, Christine Bimson, explained more on this saying “Bermagui Chamber wants to bring some happiness and good vibes back to our lovely seaside village and its beautiful community, make them feel positive about the town and our future, join people together to celebrate and encourage our younger generation to feel safe and loved in this town.”

The Chamber plan to continue this display each year for many years to come, giving the town something exciting to look forward to in the community come the festive season. What a fantastic project that the Bermagui Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism have implemented to encourage community engagement & spread the cheer!

Here you can see how fantastic their light display turned out this year.

Horizon’s Community Grants Program will open for applications in mid-2025.
