π’ PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT β CHRISTMAS PARADE ROAD CLOSURES & PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Motorists and shoppers are advised that significant road closures and parking restrictions will be in place for the Christmas Parade on Saturday, 6 December. Please expect delays and allow additional time when travelling in or around the CBD.
To help reduce congestion and maintain safety, we encourage residents to avoid using vehicles in the town area before, during, and immediately after the parade where possible. Consider using parking areas that are not directly affected by the parade route.
The parade draws large crowds, including many families and children, and the CBD will be far busier than a normal Saturday. If you experience delays, please stay patient, take a moment to breathe, and remember that your calm and careful driving helps keep our community safe.
π§ Road Closures (6am β 1:30pm)
Charles Street - from York St to Patterson St
St John Street - from Cimitiere St to Patterson St
Frederick Street - between St John St and Charles St (Allocated as a temporary bus stop for Metro Tasmania)
Lower Charles Street - (outside Harvey Norman) Allocated as a temporary bus stop for Kinetic and Calows services due to the temporary closure of the St John Street Transit Centre.
We thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable Christmas Parade for everyone.
