Council wishes to advise the community that our Customer Service Centre and Offices will be closed from Monday, 23 December 2024 and reopen Monday, 6 January 2025.
“Council staff will be taking their leave entitlements over this period,” Mayor Sally Doyle said. “After a year of serving our community and achieving great outcomes, it’s a well-deserved break and an important opportunity for our team to recharge for the year ahead.”
All planning, building and plumbing applications received during the closure period will be attended to on the first day of business in January.
To report an emergency or speak to our after-hours on-call service provider, please call (03) 6264 0300 and stay on the line to be put through to an operator.
