Authorities have implemented increased security measures, including expanded police powers within a designated event precinct, aimed at ensuring the safety of participants.
These powers allow officers to conduct searches for weapons using metal detectors.
“South Australian Police have declared Schoolies Festival a declared event precinct, so they will be on hand like they are every year to support our young people to stay safe across the weekend,” Nigel Knowles from Encounter Youth said.
