Matariki Arrowtown Kā-Muriwai road closures

 

There will be traffic management (TMP) in place leading up to and during the Matariki Arrowtown Kā-Muriwai event on 28 June 2024.

The Southern Safety Traffic management team will support this alongside our event volunteers during the duration of the event. Event volunteers will assist residents and businesses who need access through the roadblock to their homes or business, and to ensure free movement of buses. Ramshaw Lane will still be accessible for buses and parking.

If you have any questions, please contact Ann Wyatt, Event Manager.
