The free celebration, which saw more than 4000 people flock to the city's Civic Green in 2022, will return on October 14.
"Last year we did have the Welcome to Country and traditional (Aboriginal) dance but we didn't have time to plan for an Aboriginal (First Nations) marquee," Ms Ye said.
"This year we'll try and ensure this happens on the day."
She said another improvement was making the site accessible to all abilities.
"We'll speak with professional consultants about (all) abilities access after we plan for the site map and after we can confirm how many marquees we will have on the Civic Green," she said.
The committee has extended its expressions of interest for performers, artists, singers, dancers, volunteers, information stalls, food and drinks and other vendors from July 31, to August 4.
