This year's New Year's Eve celebrations in Sydney will show that the city has a heart, with a heart-shaped symbol on the Harbour Bridge.

The first outline of the heart will appear during the family fireworks session at 9pm AEDT.

More of the heart will appear each hour until the full fireworks display at midnight.
