Transport and streets

Make Sundays Special

For one Sunday each month, King Street, Baldwin Street and the Old City will be closed to motor traffic and opened up for people. The first Make Sunday Special day is this Sunday, June 23 when roads will be closed from from 9am til 6pm.

Travel and parking

All city car parks will be accessible although not necessarily by a route that you would normally use due to some closures being in place.
On street parking will be free as usual on a Sunday although it will be suspended on closed roads.
Public transport will be largely unaffected except for limited bus detours with Baldwin Street closed. View Make Sundays Special bus diversion map (pdf, 487 KB) (opens new window) (pdf, 487 KB) (opens new window). For further information see the First Service updates page.
