Activists plan to march from Latimer Square to the Bridge of Remembrance in Christchurch from 13:00 Aug. 10. The purpose of the action is to protest several government policies, such as the Fast Track Bill. Hundreds of people could join the demonstration.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. Although violence is unlikely, isolated scuffles are possible if police attempt to forcibly disperse the gathering.
Avoid the protest march as a precaution. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; use alternative routes to circumvent march routes. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
