Easter in Gladstone – Plan ahead for limited parking!

The CBD will be buzzing with excitement this long weekend – with so much happening, it's going to be very busy, and parking will be extremely limited.

To help everyone enjoy the celebrations stress-free, here’s what you need to know:

Parking is limited – we strongly encourage you to:

• Plan ahead and allow extra travel time
• Carpool, grab a lift or get dropped off if you can
• Park further out from the city centre and walk to one of the free shuttle bus pick-up points

Be considerate – If you're able to walk a little further, please leave closer parking spots for those who really need them, like people with disabilities, families with prams, or older residents.

Please note, parking on the grass is not allowed or available at the Gladstone Ports Corporation's Marina Parklands, Spinnaker Park or East Shores Parklands.

Let’s all do our part to keep the celebrations safe, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone!

Easter in Gladstone FREE Shuttle Bus Service

We encourage you to make use of the public parking locations around the city centre and then jump on-board the FREE shuttle bus operating on a quick 15 minute loop. The shuttle bus will take you directly to all the Easter in Gladstone fun and entertainment.

• Park or get dropped off nearby
• Wait for the shuttle bus at one of the pick-up/drop-off locations
• Ride the bus to your drop off location
• Hop off & experience Easter in Gladstone!
