Council continues to take a calm and rational approach to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Business Continuity Crisis Management Team is meeting regularly to ensure the advice from relevant authorities, including Queensland Health, is factored into all of our decisions and planning.

Groups within Council, including our Disaster Management experts, Disaster Recovery team, Community Services Branch and others, are also meeting regularly to assess the possible social and economic impacts of the crisis.

We are reaching out to all stakeholders to ensure a collaborative and highly effective response to help lessen the possible impacts on the community.

At all times, Council will abide by the Federal Government's latest outdoor and indoor guidelines for public mass gatherings (a ban on 500+ people for outdoors and 100+ for indoors).

Social distancing is strongly encouraged.
