A Jan. 31, 2026 protest on Auckland’s Harbour Bridge was denied due to safety and structural risks.
A protest planned for 31 January 2026 on Auckland’s Harbour Bridge has been denied a permit by New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and police due to safety, structural, and traffic concerns.
The Freedom and Rights Coalition’s request was rejected over an inadequate traffic management plan and the bridge’s unsuitability for large pedestrian gatherings, which could cause dangerous vibrations and disruptions.
Authorities stressed the bridge is a critical transport link not designed for such use, and unauthorized access would be unlawful, risking public safety and emergency response.
Police offered to help find alternative protest locations but warned of enforcement for any unpermitted activity.
The decision follows past events and ongoing concerns about infrastructure integrity and crowd-related dangers.
