The Inner West Council has made all of it’s viewing areas free and non-ticketed for people who want to enjoy the fireworks displays on New Year’s Eve.

The best free and non-ticketed viewing areas in the Inner West include;
- Yurulbin Park, Birchgrove
- Birchgrove Park, Birchgrove
- Ballast Point Park, Birchgrove
- Elkington Park, Balmain
- Mort Bay Park Balmain
- Simmons Point, East Balmain
- Lookes Avenue Reserve, East Balmain

The new Rozelle Parklands also offers a fantastic view but the owners, Transport for NSW, have declared it free but ticketed for New Year’s Eve.
The Balmain Peninsula will be closed to non-resident, private vehicles from 3.00PM on New Year’s Eve, however buses and ferries will continue to run.
