Event - Fire in the Sky 2025

Peel Street Bridge, Reads Quay and Vogel Street temporary road closures for Fire in the Sky 2025

It is proposed to close the following roads on Wednesday 1 January 2025 for the Fire in the Sky annual event.

  • Peel Street Bridge - full closure from 10.30am to approx. 12.30am 2 January. Pedestrians will be able to cross. This is a new layout for the event with the stage positioned on the Bridge for better visibility. The bridge will reopen as soon as possible once the stage and fencing are cleared.
  • Reads Quay - full closure from Peel Street to Lowe Street from 3pm to 10pm for Vendors
  • Vogel Street & Carpark from 3pm to 10pm for vendors and fireworks

It would be an offense under the regulations for anyone, other than those permitted to do so, to use the road whilst it is closed.

Anyone objecting to this proposal can make their objection in writing stating the reason why. This must be received by Council before 1 pm 13 December 2024

This notice is issued under the Local Government Act 1974 Section 342 and the Transport (Vehicular Traffic Road Closure) Regulations 1965.
