We’re encouraging safe and family-friendly celebrations in our parks and gardens this New Year’s Eve.

All Yarra’s parks and gardens will be open to the public, but there will be zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour.

Please respect residents who live near the parks.

Alcohol is not permitted in public spaces in Yarra - including streets and parks - from 9pm on Monday 30 December 2019 until 9am Wednesday 1 January 2020.

There will be extra bins, toilets, lighting, security and clean-up crews in popular parks in Yarra to ensure a safe and relaxed environment to welcome in the New Year.

Other things to remember when visiting our parks over New Year’s:

  • Amplified music is not permitted
  • Leave glass at home
  • Clean up after yourself (and your dogs) and use the bins provided
