Project: North Sydney New Years Eve 2025
Client: North Sydney Council
As the biggest event on the Australian events calendar, Sydney New Years Eve sees thousands of people flock to the foreshore to catch a glimpse of the iconic fireworks display and be some of the first people in the world to see in the new year.
ORBIT managed the North Sydney Council precinct, including three managed vantage points of Bradfield Park, Blues Point Reserve and Lavender Bay, which saw an attendance of over 28,000 people, along with three low service sites - over 40 staff on the ground keeping guests safe, informed and entertained.
Done in partnership with Site Specific Events, our team worked tirelessly over many months to ensure these key vantage points were efficiently managed, including traffic and public transport planning, communications overlay, accessibility and inclusion initiatives, resident engagement, supplier scheduling, and representing the interests of the Northern foreshore in All-Agency meetings.
With such great views and an even greater team, what more could we wish for in 2026?
