G20 Public Holiday – Brisbane area

The G20 Leaders’ Summit will be held in Brisbane on 15 and 16 November 2014.

Friday 14 November 2014 has been declared a public holiday for people who work in the Brisbane local government area. This will also affect parents and school communities in the area, as schools will be closed on this day to help ease the impact on the city and minimise any potential disruptions.

Similar to the Brisbane Ekka public holiday, entitlement is not based on a person’s place of residence but their place of work.
