Vehicle Access Parking Request
Vivid Sydney is owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW, the NSW Government's tourism and major events agency.
Destination NSW is committed to reducing the impact of Vivid Sydney 2025 on local residents and businesses by providing vehicle access passes (VAPs).
The VAP grants pre-approved vehicles access to designated road closures during specific dates and times. Each pass is valid only for the registered vehicle, is non-transferable, and cannot be duplicated.
To ensure smooth delivery, all VAP requests must be submitted to Destination NSW by 28 March 2025. Vivid Sydney will take place from 23 May to 14 June 2025, with Lights On from 6pm to 11pm nightly. We encourage you to review the road closures in advance to plan your movements. A detailed Vivid Sydney Road Closure flyer will be available for download in April 2025 to assist with your planning.
If you need a VAP for Vivid Sydney 2025, please review the terms and conditions below, along with Destination NSW’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. You may opt out at any time by following the instructions outlined in the Privacy Policy.
After submitting your VAP request form, a Vivid Sydney representative will issue your Vehicle Access Passes and information pack 3-4 weeks prior to the festival.
If you have specific requirements, please feel free to contact our Vivid Sydney team at vivid.access@dnsw.com.au.
