Very limited parking is available in the nearby area. Walk or catch Public Transport. Call 131 500 for more info. Taxis and buses are available to the event and after the event it is best to take a bus (that will pick you up from the venue) to Bondi Junction or Edgecliff station.

NYE Road Closures

Many of the roads around Dudley Page Reserve will be closed on New Year's Eve. Check live traffic website.

Money

There is eftpos available at the bar, but not at the entrance. Some food stalls may have eftpos, so we recommend bringing some extra cash just in case.

Parking

We strongly recommend that everyone catches buses which generally exit the venue in approx 30 to 60 mins. The neighbouring roads are closed from 3pm to 2am so even if you were able to find a car space it would be a long way from the event.
