Changes to Covid requirements for visitors

Thanks to the efforts of all Victorians and our strong vaccination rates, COVID-19 restrictions have eased further.

Wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory for visitors to Council facilities.

This includes our libraries, customer service counter in Sandringham, Gallery and maternal and child health centres. You are welcome to continue to wear a mask if you wish to and carry one in case you cannot remain 1.5m apart from other visitors or staff.

Council’s mandatory vaccination policy continues to apply to all visitors aged 18+. You must be fully vaccinated to visit a Council building and show proof of your vaccination.

Please do not visit Council facilities if you are unwell or have tested positive for COVID-19.
