Overview

• Chief Magistrate Janelle Brassington found the proposed crossing posed a significant risk to public safety, including hindering access to major hospitals and fire services.
• Queensland Police successfully sought the unauthorised ruling after warning of crowd-control limits, emergency access concerns and unsafe bridge footpaths.
• An alternative route via Victoria Bridge was noted as suitable, but the court could not authorise it because organisers did not consent.
• Police said a substantial operation will be in place this weekend and warned participants they could face enforcement action for obstructing traffic on the bridge.
• Justice for Palestine Magan-djin says it will still assemble at Raymond Park and is considering an appeal, as the event forms part of a nationwide day of action following the recent Sydney Harbour Bridge march.
