This adjustment is a proactive measure to minimise fire risk during the hottest part of the day. Council's standard operating hours will resume on Sunday 01 March 2026.

Please be aware that all transfer stations will also be closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day public holidays.

Additionally, transfer stations will be closed on any day with a catastrophic fire danger rating.
