The 2025 Shannon’s Adelaide Rally – Gouger Street Party is a popular, annually recurring event. The proposed road closure is timed to commence from close of Adelaide Central Market trading when traffic volumes are known to reduce.

The 2025 Shannon’s Adelaide Rally – Event Finale is a proposed new major event for North Adelaide and will attract many people to the area. If approved, the event will be held on a Sunday afternoon when traffic volumes are expected to be reduced, seeking to minimise traffic and community impacts. The proposed event is timed to align with the opening of Eighty Eight O’Connell.

Under the Local Government Act 1999, public consultation is required for events that propose to alter the purpose of a road, by using a public road for business purposes, and when the road closure would impact traffic to a material degree.

Feedback will be considered by the Council’s Events team and will help inform how we work with the event organiser to deliver the event and minimise any unavoidable impacts on surrounding stakeholders.
