ROAD CLOSURES
In the interest of public safety, road closures will be in effect during the event. These closures will be implemented in stages at 2pm, 3pm, and 6pm, and will remain in place until approximately 11pm. Every effort will be made to reopen roads earlier if it is safe to do so.
Please refer to the map below for detailed information on the closures and associated timings.
Vehicles that do not comply with the restrictions will be infringed and/or towed at the owner’s expense. No vehicle entry or exit will be permitted into properties or businesses within the road closure areas, and driveways may be blocked as part of the Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Strategy and Traffic Management Plan.
In the event of a medical emergency, access will be granted through road closures. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. The City works closely with emergency services (DFES, St John Ambulance, and WAPOL) to manage these closures.
