The department will be closed from Monday 23 December 2024 and will reopen on Thursday 2 January 2025. We will respond to queries in the new year. Best wishes for a safe and happy festive season.
Intro
With the introduction of Phase 4, all existing gathering limits and the 100/300 rule have now been removed.
Physical distancing measures still apply. All attendees at council meetings are required to comply with the 2 square metres per person rule.
Ensure seating is appropriately arranged to give every person 2 square metres and if greater access for the public is needed, consider broadcasting the meeting to another room. This room must also allow for 2 square metres per person.
If your venue cannot accommodate all council members and necessary officers, you could consider a mixture of in-person and electronic attendance until further restrictions are eased.
