Official City Roundup for Sunday, 15 February 2026

The City of Adelaide and South Australian health authorities have issued several public notices and advisories active for Sunday, 15 February 2026. Residents and visitors are encouraged to review these announcements to ensure public safety and minimize travel disruptions.

Public Assembly and Traffic Advisory

The City of Adelaide has been notified of a significant public assembly scheduled for this Sunday. Participants are expected to gather at 169 Pirie Street before proceeding toward Parliament House on North Terrace. While no formal long-term road closures have been gazetted for this specific event, motorists should anticipate localized traffic delays and a high pedestrian presence along the following routes:

  • Pirie Street (Eastern end)
  • Pulteney Street and surrounding intersections
  • North Terrace, specifically the precinct adjacent to Parliament House

South Australia Police (SAPOL) will be on-site to manage traffic flow and ensure the safety of both participants and the general public.

Health Advisory: Measles Surveillance

SA Health continues to advise the public to remain vigilant following the notification of several measles cases earlier this month. Symptoms of measles—including fever, cough, runny nose, and sore eyes, followed by a blotchy rash—can take up to 18 days to appear. Anyone who was present at the following locations in late January or early February should monitor their health until the end of the month:

  • Adelaide Metro Tram services (Forestville to Royal Adelaide Hospital)
  • BHP Building, 10 Franklin Street
  • Rolls n Rice, King William Street
  • 48 Flavours, Unley Road
  • Unley Swimming Centre

Individuals who are not fully vaccinated and develop symptoms are urged to phone their GP ahead of time to arrange a safe assessment and prevent further spread.

Public Notice: Local Fireworks Display

Residents in the Glenelg area are advised of a scheduled firecrackers and fireworks display taking place at Jimmy Melrose Park on the South Esplanade. The event is scheduled to commence at approximately 7:00 PM on Sunday, 15 February. Pet owners in the vicinity are encouraged to keep animals indoors or secured during this time to minimize distress caused by noise.

Consumer Product Recall: Sunscreen Alert

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reminder remains active regarding the recall of specific zinc-based sunscreen products. Batches of Banana Boat Baby Zinc Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ and Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Zinc Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ have been flagged due to potential ingredient separation. Consumers are advised to check their product batch numbers and return affected items to the place of purchase for a full refund.
