Police say protest organisers made the right call, by postponing tomorrow's Auckland Harbour Bridge protest due to weather. 

Southbound lanes were to close to accommodate the tens of thousands of pro-Palestine protestors..

The march will now take place from Aotea Square to Victoria Park, while a new bridge crossing date is decided. 

Acting Waitemata District Commander Stefan Sagar told Heather du Plessis-Allan that he acknowledges the organisers for heeding their advice. 

Saga says with winds potentially reaching over 70-kilometres an hour, it's not a feasible environment for pedestrians.
