COVID-19 Community Update
Council continues to assess the effects of COVID-19 on our operations and ability to serve our community, and this includes taking direction and advice from Federal and State Governments. Local Government is considered an essential service, and as such, we have a responsibility to continue to undertake our functions where reasonable, and safe to do so.
With the COVID-19 situation continually changing, Council is actively reviewing its response to COVID-19 to ensure that we take appropriate actions in a timely and measured approach, with a summary of actions to date as follows:
All playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor public exercise equipment | Open – but with social distancing, and limits on gatherings of 10 people. Council also encourages users, participants, and parents of children using playground equipment to wipe down equipment before and after use |
Parks & Reserves | Open – but use is subject to public gathering and distancing protocols |
Naracoorte Library | Will reopen on Monday 18 May 2020 – but with restricted use and visitation (please refer to additional post for more detail) |
Naracoorte Visitor Information Centre | Closed as of 24/3/20, and to remain closed. This will be reviewed as the easing of travel to regional areas takes effect. |
Town Halls | Closed as of 24/3/20 and to remain closed. This will be reviewed as the easing of travel to regional areas takes effect, and demand for restricted public use of facilities is known. |
Public Toilets | To remain closed:
|
Naracoorte Regional Livestock Exchange | Remains open for business – but tightly restricted in attendance for sales |
Council Offices – Naracoorte & Lucindale | Open – but we request that people attempt to conduct business with Council via phone or online where practical |
Council Depots | Closed to the public – but still operational |
Naracoorte Waste Transfer Station | Open |
All visitors to Council facilities should practice social distancing - the more space between you and others, the harder it is for the virus to spread.
We also ask that you follow appropriate health and travel protocols with respect to COVID-19. If you fall into a self-quarantine category, please do not attend any of our premises. To protect our staff and community, please also do not attend our premises if you have been in contact with a person with suspected COVID-19, or if you are experiencing any symptoms.
