• Activists associated with Anti-AUKUS Coalition are slated to hold a protest outside the Royal Australian Navy Base, Garden Island Precinct in Sydney from 13:00 (local time) on February 21. 
• The slated demonstrations will be held to denounce the government’s recent announcement to spend 2.76 billion USD to progress construction of a shipyard that will help deliver nuclear-powered submarines under the trilateral AUKUS defense pact with the US and UK. 

The turnout at the slated demonstration is anticipated to range between the low-to-mid dozens, based on the mobilization capabilities of the organizing group. As per standard security protocol and the sensitivity of the location, the authorities are liable to bolster security measures in the vicinity of the Royal Australian Navy Base. These measures will likely include the deployment of police personnel and setting up security barricades to monitor the gathering. That said, the protest is anticipated to transpire peacefully, given precedent. Localized disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular travel are expected in the vicinity of the Royal Australian Navy Base during the afternoon hours due to the anticipated turnout and related security measures on February 21. 

Those operating or residing in Sydney on February 21 are advised to allot for travel disruptions in the vicinity of the Royal Australian Navy Base due to the slated protest.
