Continuity of Council Services
The City of Burnside is navigating the opening of borders and ensuring that we can still continue to deliver services to the community, even with new strains of COVID in our state.
One way of doing that is to help remind people to check in and wear a mask, as per state government Transition Committee directions.
This is one way to ensure the safety of our community at our facilities (especially the vulnerable), and our staff, to ensure that Council can continue to deliver services to the community.
As school holidays begin our Library faces its busiest time of the year. It is vital that visitors are protected by high standards of hygiene and COVID compliance.
Almost every visitor is wearing a face mask and if not, they comply as soon as it is pointed out that it is a mandatory condition of entry. Council has a supply of masks for those who forget.
Our Customer Service Team is in their own ‘bubble’ with limited exposure to other staff so they remain safe as the first point of contact with the community.
All staff are encouraged to wear masks and maintain social distance and teams are alternating working in the office and from home to minimise their chance of contact.
All of these actions are for the health and safety of our community, our employees and the general public.
