Moreton Kids Festival delayed due to flooding
The organisers of Moreton Kids Festival have been forced to reschedule the event following recent flooding at the venue Pine Rivers Park, Strathpine.
After extensive consultation it was deemed that the event site and the surrounding roads have suffered significant damage and will not recover before March 13, the date the event was due to be held.
It has been rescheduled and will now go ahead on May 22 at Pine Rivers Park from 8am-3pm.
Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism CEO Shane Newcombe, whose organisation runs the event which is supported by Moreton Bay Regional Council and Strathpine Centre, said it was a tough but necessary decision.
“The safety of our patrons will always come first and we thank them for their patience and understanding,” Mr Newcombe said.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope families can attend this wonderful event on the new scheduled date.”
