The Festival Precinct will be open for pedestrians only over the Christmas period
Due to global supply delays, bollards for the Festival Precinct have not arrived yet. The decision has been made not to let vehicles through the Festival Precinct's new one-way street until early January to keep the area safe.
Vehicles will be able to use the small roundabout to enter the Coles carpark and the laneway connecting to the Settlers carpark from 23 Dec.
Water barriers will go up on either side of the Festival Precinct to prevent vehicles entering.
