City centre road closures on New Year's Eve - residents notification
Dear neighbours,
This New Year’s Eve, some roads in the city centre will be closed between 10pm on 31 December and 2am on 1 January 2020 for the safety of those who will celebrate the turn of the decade in the heart of the city.
There are more people living in the city centre than ever before, and it is clear from previous years that the city precinct is a popular choice for locals and visitors to see in the new year.
Last year, Auckland Transport reported that there was heavy vehicle congestion in the city centre on the night and this year’s road closures – including car park arrival and departure within the closed area – are in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
Fireworks displays, lasting five minutes, will feature on the stroke of midnight, from the iconic Sky Tower and from a barge near Queens Wharf.
We apologise for any inconvenience these restrictions may cause. Thank you for your support and cooperation during this event. If you require further information, please contact majorevents@aucklandnz.com.
Please see the attached document for further details on the road closures.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
