Lord Mayor Nick Reece will join the hosts to share reflections on the past year and what lies ahead for the city in 2025. The Lord Mayor said: “As one of the first cities to cheer as the clock strikes midnight, we’ll be showing the rest of the world how it’s done. New Year’s is the biggest night of the year for our city – drawing in around half a million visitors and contributing more than $18.4 million into the local economy.”
