Sydney New Year’s Eve revellers can expect large police presence, doorknocking of homes to enforce COVID-19 rules
NSW Police have warned New Year’s Eve revellers they should prepare to see large numbers of police out tonight and officers won’t hesitate to doorknock people’s homes to check they are abiding by health rules.
New Year’s Eve (NYE) in the Harbour City tonight will look so different to every other year it will be almost unrecognisable.
The midnight fireworks (albeit only a 7-minute display this year) will be one of the only signs of the milestone occasion.
Harbourside locations are fenced off, popular parks are closed and a strict permit system in place for anyone who sets foot in the CBD.
The strict measures are in response to a growing number of COVID-19 cases in Sydney after a new cluster emerged in the inner west.
