The Chief Health Officer has issued a public health directive requiring masks be worn indoors, including in Council buildings. Proof of vaccination requirements remain unchanged from the previous health directive.

In line with the health directive, all community members will be required to wear a mask indoors when entering any Council office, venue, facility or event including:

• Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre
• Gladstone Regional Libraries
• Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum
• Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct's buildings
• Tondoon Botanic Garden's Visitors Centre
• Community Halls

In line with the health directive, proof of vaccination will be required to attend the following *Council facilities or events:

• Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre (indoor and outdoor events)
• Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum
• Festival of Summer
• Festivals where ticketed entry applies.

*People who have a medical exemption, and can provide the relevant proof, will be permitted entry also.

Our Council-owned libraries, pools, customer service and transaction centres remain exempt from the Queensland Government’s vaccination requirements, however masks are required when indoors at these locations.

Community halls continue to be subject to COVID-19 occupancy limits of no more than one person per two square metres for areas open to, or used by, visitors. This includes our Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct.

It remains a requirement to use the Check In Qld app when visiting any Council facility.

Gladstone Regional Council will continue to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the community and will continue to abide by the Queensland Government’s health directive.
