Hundreds of police to enforce COVID compliance at Queensland’s New Year’s Eve celebration

Hundreds of police will enforce COVID compliance as New Year’s Eve celebrations go ahead in Queensland despite a dramatic rise in cases. Tonight, there will be more than 60,000 pyrotechnic effects across two light shows at the South Bank Parklands. The event is not ticketed, but it will be capped and fenced off, with a requirement to show their check-in in order to enter.
