Sydney New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest nights in Sydney CBD, and major road closures will affect how you get into and around the city. If you’re planning to drive, it’s important to know when roads close and which DIVVY car parks are affected.
Key Road Closures – NYE 2025/26
Roads across the city will shut down throughout the day on 31 December:
- Cahill Expressway: closed from 6am
- Circular Quay & The Rocks: closures from 2pm
- Sydney CBD: major closures from 5pm, most roads closed by 7pm
- Harbour Bridge: closed 11pm–1:30am
Once these closures begin, many car parks will not be accessible — even if you have a booking. You can find the full list of road closures here.
DIVVY also offers parking close to hotels and viewing points of the New Year’s Eve celebrations, including Sydney Tower, the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay, The Rocks, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour.
Pre-book your New Year’s Eve parking with us across North Sydney and the Sydney CBD via the DIVVY Parking App or website. Please ensure if you are pre-booking you’re parking with DIVVY, then ensure you arrive at the car park before the road closures commence.
