Happy New Year

Welcome to 2008 Sydney New Year’s Eve. Once again, we are planning a spectacular celebration around the shores of the world’s most beautiful harbour – a night which will be shared by millions around the world.

It’s a night when the people of 200 cultures who call this City home come together with family and friends to reflect on the year past and look forward to the year to come. It’s a night when we also think of those less fortunate and remember that we are truly one world.

Please plan ahead so that you can safely enjoy this wonderful celebration which is undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest annual events. Have a happy, safe and “green” New Year.

Clover Moore, MP
Lord Mayor
