With the western catwalk, hangars & lower arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge being used for fireworks for the 1st time ever, crowds have been heading to North Sydney for their prime views of the western side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge around Lavender Bay including in Bradfield Park, on Blues Point & in heritage-listed amusement park, Luna Park, for tonight’s Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks.
As all vantage points in North Sydney are now full, please do not travel into these areas. This happened at 4:28pm AEDT.
This early reaching of capacity in North Sydney is a surprise given the long history & popularity of the event. However, it does show that western Sydney audiences have really been wanting the western half of the Sydney Harbour Bridge to be used for pyrotechnics for a long time, more than organisers realised.
Corresponding to this news, the southern side of the Harbour has been unusually slower in filling up to capacity this year.
The Sydney Central Business District is now full as of 5pm. As of 5:59pm, Barangaroo as well & Observatory Hill Park at 6:38pm. Please do not travel into these areas. However, Dawes Point (Tar-Ra) Park & The Rocks are still not at capacity.
Sydney New Year’s Eve 2024 begins at 7:30pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time tonight, the 31st of December.
