Water Closures and Reduced Mooring Availability:

A floating stage will be installed within the Elizabeth Quay Inlet by midday on Monday, 10 November 2025, and will remain in place until Wednesday, 4 March 2026. During this period, the three northern floating jetty docks along the eastern promenade will be closed to the public.

Noise Considerations:

Minor noise may occur during the installation of the floating stage and other bump-in activities, such as marquee construction and speaker placement, prior to event times. This is expected to be minimal, with little to no disruption anticipated.

Audio towers will be positioned throughout the Elizabeth Quay precinct. Amplified sound will occur intermittently for sound checks on Friday, 14 November, between 10am and 5pm, and continuously from 5pm to 9pm for rehearsals on the same day and for the two show nights on Saturday, 15 November and Sunday, 16 November.

During bump-out (9pm to 11pm, Sunday 16 November, and 8am to 5pm, Monday 17 November), minor noise and disruption may also occur.

All necessary safety measures will be in place to minimise impacts on surrounding businesses. Noise monitoring will be conducted during rehearsals and show times to ensure compliance with the Noise Management Plan.
