Carter's concern was that the light show would cause distress for the pregnant wallabies causing them to abort or eject their joeys out of fear.

The Northern Territory Major Events general manager Andrew Hopper told AAPthat all necessary precautions had been taken to prevent harm to local animals.

Concern has also been raised by Senior Indigenous custodian of Alice Springs, Doris Stuart. Stuart reported growing concern that the local Arrernte stories sacred to the Alice Springs region had been ignored.

"That's the most important thing when you're messing around with sacred sites that are everything to the people who belong to the country," Stuart said.

Hopper told ABCthat the festival organisers consulted "widely with a number of Indigenous groups and traditional owners of the land, and had chosen a variety of dreamtime stories to illustrate in light."
