Stay SunSmart in our parks and facilities

Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and pack your insect repellent. It’s also important that you remember to stay SunSmart during your next visit – slip on protective clothing, slop on some sunscreen, slap on a wide-brimmed hat, seek shade and slide on your sunnies!

From Friday, 17 December, a public health directive came into effect across Queensland which requires proof of vaccination on entry to some businesses, venues and events. 
 
Please remember to be kind to one another as we continue to face these unprecedented times together. 
 
Which facilities will NOT require proof of vaccination?   
In line with the health directive, all community members regardless of vaccination status can enter the following:  

  • Gladstone Regional Libraries
  • Council-owned pools (Gladstone and Mount Larcom)
  • Customer service and transaction centres. 
  • Waste transfer stations and landfill
  • Community halls (including Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct) ^
  • Transfer Stations and Landfills

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

Electronic check-ins are mandatory for Council facilities and staff can refuse access and service to anyone that does not sign in.

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.

Which facilities will require proof of vaccination? 
In line with the health directive, proof of vaccination will be required when entering the following:  

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

* People with medical exemptions, and can provide the relevant proof, will be permitted entry as well. 

^Community halls and Philip Street Communities and Families Precinct will 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.

Our commitment  
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.

The legacy of Cassy Jones has grown even stronger following the recent completion of the Cassy Lives Skate Park upgrade.

Council undertook extensive community consultation prior to redesigning the skate park – firstly in October and November 2019 to understand the community’s needs and priorities regarding the skate park and again in July and August 2020 – with the latter offering the community a chance to vote on their favourite design. 

Please visit https://conversations.gladstone.qld.gov.au/cassy-lives-skate-park for more information about Cassy Jones.  

The $325,000 Cassy Lives Skate Park upgrade works was fully funded by the Queensland Government's COVID Works for Queensland program.
