Activists plan protest march from 12:00 Sept. 28 in Dunedin, New Zealand. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to stage a protest march in Dunedin from 12:00 Sept. 28 to denounce proposed clinical cuts to New Dunedin Hospital. Protesters will gather at Great King Street in front of the University of Otago's Faculty of Dentistry before marching through George Street to the Octagon. Hundreds of participants will likely join the rally.
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 and to minimize travel delays. Allow additional time for travel to nearby destinations; use alternative routes to circumvent the march route. Heed all local security and traffic advisories.
