2024 Red Dirt Ball Supporting the Legal Fight

“Stopping the Overhead Transmission Towers”

The Red Dirt Ball is committed to supporting rural communities affected by the threat of the proposed 80m overhead transmission towers.

These structures not only impact the landscape but also pose risks to farming operations and the environment.

Our mission is to raise funds to stop the installation of transmission towers on valuable farmland,

ensuring the preservation of our agricultural heritage and the well-being of our farming communities.

This night will be a night to remember…

 

Be prepared to be mesmerised by the transformation of an aeroplane Hangar into a party venue like no other.  The grandeur of this immense space will take your breath away.

Our dedicated committee and wonderful team of volunteers have come together to create a night of memories…

Upon arrival, walk the red carpet and be captured on film by professional Timeless Imagery.
