Story Bridge will be lit Yellow to support Fatality Free Friday

Since its inception in 2007, ARSF’s Fatality Free Friday campaign has continued to expand its operation and is now recognised as one of Australia’s largest national community-based road safety program. ARSF’s Fatality Free Friday initiative is about much more than just a single day - Friday 29 May 2026. It operates on the belief that if we can go one day without a death on the road, we can demonstrate the impact a focus on road safety can have every day of the year.
Road safety is a global issue that ranks as one of the most pressing matters facing society today. The social, economic, and emotional costs are immense, and these figures are poised to increase unless something is done, now. All road users are encouraged to get involved and to take personal responsibility to help make a significant reduction in road trauma. We are also aiming for a longer-term community change.

Story Bridge will be lit Black, Red and Yellow with Blue, White and Green to support Reconciliation Week

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026, All In, is a powerful invitation for every Australian to step forward with purpose and conviction. It calls on us to embrace reconciliation not as an occasional gesture, but as a daily commitment woven into the way we live, work, and walk together. Reconciliation will not unfold on its own. It will only happen when all of us - every community, every sector, every Australian - commit to being part of the change

Celebrate Festa della Repubblica - Italian National Day. This Day commemorates the historic referendum of June 2, 1946, when the Italian people voted to become a republic. By lighting up Brisbane in the colours of the Italian flag, we aim to honour the contributions of the Italian community to the cultural, social, and economic life of Queensland, promote multicultural inclusion and strengthens the connection between Australia and Italy. It is an opportunity for all residents to reflect on shared values of democracy, community, and cultural heritage.
