Paying to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks from public vantage points around Sydney Harbour could be a thing of the past, if the NSW opposition wins the March state election.
While some sites are free, authorities charge fees of up to $600 for tickets to access many vantage points where people love to gather to watch the fireworks on Sydney Harbour Bridge and at other foreshore sites.
"We have the most beautiful harbour and the most beautiful city, and every person should be able to enjoy it - for free," Labor leader Chris Minns said on Wednesday.
