The Melbourne Cricket Ground will no longer allow parking at the venue during major events, in a move to prevent vehicular attacks on attendees.
In January 2017 six people were killed and dozens were injured when a car was driven into a crowd in Melbourne’s City Centre - a similar incident occurred in Flinders Street in December.
In the wake of these incidents the MCG’s administrators feel that it is prudent to limit interactions between vehicles and pedestrians at highly attended events at the venue.
