Climate activists protesting at Royal International Convention Center in Brisbane, Australia, morning of Oct. 30.

Warning

Climate activists are protesting at the Royal International Convention Center in Brisbane on the morning of Oct. 30 to denounce BHP's climate action plan, which the company allegedly will present during today's annual general meeting. Authorities have issued a warning about potential traffic disruptions on Costin Street, Gregory Terrace, and Bowen Bridge Road.

Police will likely monitor the rally. While the protest will probably remain peaceful, skirmishes between protesters and police are possible. Localized transport disruptions may occur if demonstrators block or march along roadways.

Avoid the protest as a security precaution. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Follow all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time near gatherings.
