WOLLONGONG
The Color Run™ Sunday 22 May 2016
Background
The Color Run™ event has been held over this course in 2014 and 2015 and the
traffic management plans are the same as previous plans. The organisers
neglected to contact Council with respect to the road closures until 3 May 2016
and this special item has been considered by members of the Traffic Committee.
Council’s Standard Conditions for Road Closures require the organisers to
advertise the closures and contact residents and business owners in the areas
affected by the closures.
The event involves the closure of Marine Drive, Endeavour Drive, Cliff Road,
Bourke Street, Kembla Street (north of Bourke Street) and the southbound
carriageway of George Hanley Drive. The road closures take place between 5am
and 1pm on the day but Marine Drive and part of Endeavour Drive are expected
to be re-opened by 10.30am.
The runners pass through a series of colour stations where vegetable starch
colour is thrown onto the course and the event finishes in Stuart Park. The 1pm

re-opening time for the roadways takes into account the time required for the
colours to be cleared from the public roads.
The organisers have arranged for the Gong Shuttle to be diverted along Virginia
Street and Bourke Street and then to Corrimal Street until 11am. The route bus
services otherwise will be permitted to access Marine Drive throughout the event.
Route Service 65 will be unaffected as the traffic controllers will be instructed to
assist its passage through the affected streets, Kembla and Blackett.
