Sydney New Year's Eve celebrations will be different this year. Plan ahead by booking venues, or celebrate locally or at home instead. Whether you are planning a celebration at home or in your local community, remember to ensure the safety of your family and friends. For all the details on NYE changes this year, visit nsw.gov.au/nye.
Roads in and around the city will still be closed this New Year's Eve and may affect how you or your guests travel to your property or other areas around the inner city and harbour. A little organisation beforehand can go a long way to help make your event fun, safe and memorable.
