Stay safe and plan your transport for Spilt Milk this weekend

ACT Policing is urging the 50,000 people attending Spilt Milk tomorrow to stay safe and plan their transport to and from the event.

While police want everyone to have a good time, there will be a zero-tolerance approach to alcohol-fueled violence and anti-social behaviour. An appropriate police presence will be in place both inside EPIC and on the roads around it, with officers working closely with event security staff to ensure the safety of patrons and staff, and road users around the venue.

ACT Policing is also urging people to plan their transportation to and from EPIC, as roads around the venue will be closed or restricted, with significant traffic volumes expected at the end of the event on Saturday night.

Taking public transport is the easiest way to get to and from the event. There is a special timetable for light rail as well as shuttle buses from the Woden, Belconnnen and City bus interchanges.

If you are intending on drinking at the event, please act responsibly and plan how you are going to get home in advance.  There will be a significant police presence on the roads around EPIC with impaired driving the road safety focus this month.

Canberrans are also reminded that a police presence will continue in the city after the event, as part of the Safe Summer campaign launched yesterday.
