HUNDREDS of thousands of people will see in 2017 with a bang as Melbourne’s biggest-ever fireworks display lights up the sky tonight.

More than 450,000 people will flood the city to get a front-row seat and watch tonight’s New Year’s Eve spectacular.

They will be monitored by police from a new $15 million state-of-the-art New York-style surveillance hub at the Victoria Police Centre in Flinders St, which will go live for the first time today.

The fireworks, visible from anywhere with a view of the city skyline, will be triggered from 22 C-B-D building rooftops at midnight.

It's costing the state over half-a-million-dollars. ($532,000)
