Although Christmas and New Year’s Eve was celebrated by many in different ways from previous years, the NSW Government continues to support the community to maintain work and social activities wherever possible.
NSW remains open for business and residents have embraced COVID-safe intrastate travel across the regions by observing the health advice and following restrictions as necessary during the holiday period.
This week, the NSW Government announced its COVID-safe Australia Day 2021 program, with the traditional Australia Day Live concert at Sydney Opera House headlined by Australian music icons Delta Goodrem, Casey Donovan, Dami Im, Mitch Tambo and Todd McKenney, plus a tribute to frontline workers.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said that, like everything throughout the pandemic, Australia Day 2021 would be different to previous years, but the theme of resilience and unity would be more poignant than ever.
“To ensure we have a COVID-safe Australia Day, we will be staging fewer events. Celebrations will be shared with the nation on TV and online and everyone can watch from home,” Minister Ayres said.
“As with New Year’s Eve, NSW residents are encouraged to stay local and celebrate in their communities.
“The 2021 program showcases Aboriginal culture – proudly the oldest living culture in the world – celebrates our newest citizens, provides a chance to thank our frontline workers for their ongoing and tireless efforts, highlights inspirational Australian talent and asks the community to continue to support their local regions.”
To ensure public safety, restrictions will be in place around the Circular Quay foreshore precinct. Only those with a confirmed restaurant or venue booking will be allowed entry into the area after 5pm.
