Sunday, June 7 will see the Brisbane Marathon Festival take place across the CBD, Kangaroo Point, and New Farm.

Moray Street and Oxlade Drive will have a no parking restriction.

Merthyr, Griffith, Lamington, and Gray Streets will be subject to altered traffic conditions for the duration of the festival.

New Farm Park and surrounding amenities will be inaccessible to vehicles during the road closures.

New Farm closures begin at 3:00 am June 7, and will continue until 12:45pm at latest.

Kangaroo Point residents should expect disruptions to the Story Bridge and adjacent streets, with closures to River Terrace from 3:00 to 11:00am.

Tenerife will be impacted by the New Farm closures with Vernon Terrace closed to traffic from 3:00am to 12:30pm.
