Driving/parking instructions

  • There will be a drop-off zone for parents/guardians to drop off and pick up children at the bottom of the Community Church driveway (57 Yarra Street)

  • In this area, you can drive in, drop off your kids, their goodies and table, and then drive away to find a car park elsewhere

  • The drop off zone will be only for unloading, not for parking, and drivers will need to remain in their cars. Please bring an additional parent/ adult with you to help the kids carry their goodies to their sites
