Transport for NSW has announced that services will be enhanced for the evening but have warned of road closures beginning as early as 6:00 PM in key areas affected by the events. Meanwhile, Melbourne’s celebrations will incorporate live music performances and a fireworks display of its own, where families are advised to arrive early to secure viewing spots. Melbourne’s events will take place along the Yarra River, and spectators can expect a vibrant atmosphere filled with artistic performances. Brisbane will also participate in the festivities with fireworks lighting up the sky over the Brisbane River, with local authorities advising on necessary safety measures to ensure the event remains enjoyable and incident-free. In a statement, New South Wales Premier told event-goers: “We want everyone to have a memorable night, but we also urge everyone to plan their journeys carefully to ensure a smooth experience.” Furthermore, people in attendance are advised to adhere to local safety guidelines and restrictions. The celebrations promise picturesque views and a festive ambiance across Australia as people gather to welcome the New Year, reminding all to celebrate joyfully yet responsibly.
