Playgrounds

The NSW Government has announced the easing of COVID-19 restrictions from Friday 15 May.

From 15 May, the use of outdoor equipment is permitted, with caution. Accordingly, from 15 May, Council will re-open all playgrounds and outdoor exercise equipment. As of today, the NSW Government has advised that skateparks are to remain closed.

Other Council facilities including libraries, halls, the JM Robson Aquatic Centre, campgrounds, sportsgrounds, the Visitor Information Centre and Eskbank House remain closed to comply with NSW Public Health Orders.

Council takes advice on all public health matters from the State and Federal health departments and may need to update its response should the situation change.
