"The NSW Rural Fire Service and Fire and Rescue NSW are assessing a number of other total fire ban exemptions."
Parramatta, Armidale and Huskisson are among suburbs and regional towns that have cancelled or postponed their fireworks displays due to elevated fire risks."The safety of our community and general public is important to us and it was decided that the event could not proceed without compromising this safety," the City of Parramatta said on Facebook on Monday afternoon.
Sydney’s New Years Eve Fireworks should just be canceled, very easy decision. The risk is too high and we must respect our exhausted RFS volunteers. If regional areas have had fireworks banned, then let’s not have two classes of citizens. We’re all in this crisis together.Mr Barilaro on Monday echoed calls from 250,000 people who have signed a petition seeking the Sydney fireworks to be scrapped and funds redirected to drought and bushfire relief.
The city's famous celebrations are expected to attract one million people to the harbour foreshore and generate $130 million for the NSW economy.
How is it that flicking a cigarette butt is illegal while the far more energetic, firey, flaming and flashy fireworks are government approved?! The hypocrisy is stunning.
Yes, let's use the occasion to celebrate that the planet is turning to crap by spending up big on a round of stiring music accompanied with loud explosions and flashing lights. We are so screwed!
Common sense prevails
Pigheaded!
'Total' fire ban, 40+°C temperatures, increasingly limited number of viewing points/more crowding, thousands of excitable, high-spirited people milling around - but the $how must go on.
it should be cancelled and the millions spent on it going to bushfire and drought relief. Incredibly irresponsible and thoughtless to continue with it

Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks expected to go ahead, despite fire conditionsSydney New Year's Eve celebrations are set to be bigger than ever despite reports it could be cancelled if catastrophic fire conditions are declared. Unbelievable! It’s only selfish but disrespectful to everyone who has lost everything. We do not need more pollution or hazardous smoke! NSWbushfires sydneysmoke NSWRFS RFS I bet the political pressure to go ahead with sydneyfireworks I think there are both pros and cons on cancelling. Hard to know for sure what's best. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to stop the Sydney NYE fireworks from happening since the NSW government realised they could make the majority of the best harbour viewing spots ticketed and start raking in the $$$$$$$
