Safety Advisory from RAA
“The Christmas Pageant brings huge numbers to the city each year so road closures will be in place tomorrow morning to keep everyone safe.” – Charles Mountain, RAA Senior Manager Safety and Infrastructure
Mr. Mountain also warned about parking scarcity, saying, “On-street parking will be as rare as a white Christmas, so check for off-street options and allow plenty of extra time if you’re driving to the Pageant.”
Residents and visitors are encouraged to consider public transport or alternative travel plans to avoid disruption and enjoy the festive celebrations safely.
