A concert to be headlined by Sting on New Year's Eve in Sydney has been cancelled by NSW's new Minister for Major Events.

The gig, which was to be held at White Bay, was being opposed by residents, local member Verity Firth and Sydney Council.

New minister Kevin Greene has reversed the decision by former minister Ian Macdonald, who has resigned from parliament.
