We asked for feedback on the application to grant a temporary closure for a portion of War Memorial Drive for the purpose of the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championships Adelaide taking place on Friday 14 November to Sunday 23 November 2025.
City of Adelaide has received an application from Volleyball Australia (event organisers) to hold the Beach Volleyball World Championships Adelaide 2025 in a section of War Memorial Drive from Friday 14 November to Sunday 23 November 2025.
To facilitate this activity, it is proposed that War Memorial Drive (Between the Adelaide Oval loading dock and the entrance to Next Generation Gym) will be closed to vehicles from 6am Thursday 13 November 2025 until 5pm Monday 24 November 2025.
To facilitate the road closure, it is proposed that all the on-street parking spaces on the closed section of the roads will be changed to ‘No stopping – Tow-Away’ for the duration of the road closure.
Pedestrian access will be maintained along the river pedestrian pathway and the site will be fenced.
Under the Local Government Act 1999, the City of Adelaide is required to consult the public before it can grant a permit for an event that requests to use a public road for business purposes, and the said purpose will require whole or partial road closure(s) that may impede the passage of traffic to a material degree.
