PSA: Sydney Lockout Laws Will Be Lifted Tonight For New Year’s Eve

Congrats, Sydney! In honour of 2017 coming to a close, the state government is giving us a celebratory night off from the lockout laws.

Yes, for one glorious night only, Sydney will become a lockout-free zone, with our supreme Liberal Party overlords declaring it OK for us to stay out and play past 1.30am to toast the arrival of the New Year.

Anti-lockouts group-turned-political party Keep Sydney Open confirmed the news on Facebook, remarking that “People have been asking us about lockouts and closing times tonight, as there hasn’t been much word going round”.

“As NYE is on a Sunday, venues that usually have to close earlier can trade until 2am and the 1:30am lockout ~will not~ apply. Venues that are licensed to stay open later will trade as usual,” they continue.

“Bottle shops that usually have to close earlier on a Sunday can stay trading until 11pm.”
