Council Facilities

Restrictions are in place regarding number of patrons allowed in Council facilities at any one time to ensure we can maintain social distancing.

We understand there are situations where you may not be able to maintain social distancing. It is recommended that you have a mask available so that if you find yourself in one of those situations, you have additional protection.

When visiting a Council facility you will be required to complete an online or physical form for contact tracing purposes.

We ask that visitors do not attend our facilities if you; have returned from overseas or a COVID-19 hotspot in the last 14 days, have cold or flu like symptoms, have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the last 14 days. Interactions will be done as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise face to face contact.
