New Caledonia: Environmental activists plan to protest outside the South Province government office in Noumea July 30

Event

Activists associated with the environmental group Together for the Planet and residents of Ducos Peninsula plan to protest in Noumea July 30 over a planned incinerator project. Organizers claim the project will further degrade the environment on the peninsula. Demonstrators will gather at the South Province Hotel, across from the provincial government office, from 08:00. The demonstration could draw up to a few hundred people, though a smaller turnout is likely.

Depending on turnout, officials may increase security near the protest site, provincial office, and surrounding areas. Localized transport disruptions could occur.

Advice

Exercise caution near the protest site the morning of July 30. Follow all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time in the area.
