• COVID-Safe check-ins and proof of vaccination will be required for staff and customers and masks are required Customers (anyone over 16 years old) will need to provide proof of their vaccination at all Council facilities. This can be done with either a COVID Digital Certificate from MyGov or Certification from the place of vaccination or from the Australian Immunisation Register.

All staff serving at any Council facility will have had at least one or both Covid-19 vaccinations.
