While our customer service centres will remain open, we encourage customers to use our online services at melton.vic.gov.au or phone us on 9747 7200.
Our critical and essential services such as aged care, maternal and child health, immunisation and waste collection will continue. If there are direct service changes, residents will be notified.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow advice from government authorities. As the situation changes, information regarding other Council services, activities and events will be released via our website (melton.vic.gov.au) and social media channels.
