Safety and Parking Advice
“The Christmas Pageant brings huge numbers to the city each year so road closures will be in place tomorrow morning to keep everyone safe,” said Charles Mountain, RAA Senior Manager Safety and Infrastructure.
“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 should expect significant disruptions and seek alternative travel arrangements to avoid delays.
Summary: The Christmas Pageant will cause extensive road closures tomorrow with high attendance expected; careful planning and alternative parking are essential for a smooth visit.
