Parking in Sydney for New Year’s Eve 2025

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display is renowned for being one of the most impressive in the world. Whether you’re looking for a glamorous night out, family-friendly activities, or a more intimate way to ring in the new year, Sydney has something for everyone. Click here to view key vantage points around Circular Quay, North Sydney, and the Sydney city area.

Remember that road closures and parking restrictions will be in effect across Sydney before, during, and after the New Year’s Eve fireworks displays. You can find the full list of road closures here.

If you’re heading into the Sydney CBD to see the spectacular fireworks and take part in the New Year’s Eve celebrations, then why not leave your car overnight with us and collect it the following day when road closures are complete?

An alternative parking option could be to park your vehicle in North Sydney and catch the Metro into the Sydney CBD to avoid the Harbour Bridge closures. Park with DIVVY at 124 Walker Street for a 24-hour rate of $31, or park at 273 Alfred Streetand56 Berry Street for an evening rate of $5. From these locations, you can conveniently access Victoria Cross Metro or North Sydney Station.
