5 Star's Commonwealth Games - Delivery Action Plan
January 19, 2018
As you would be aware, the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games are just around the corner,
taking place from the 4th of April through to the 15th of April.
According to the relevant state and local Governments it is without doubt going to have an impact
on how we do business during this period and will cause a numerous amount of delays throughout
the Gold Coast region and the M1 between Brisbane and Gold Coast. This is due to major traffic
delays associated with the amount of traffic expected to be on the roads and multiple road closures
in and around the games precinct.
