Changes to Council services on Queen's Birthday public holiday

Monday 11 June is the Queen's Birthday public holiday, and we would like to remind you that some of our services and centres may be closed or have different hours. 

Household waste, recyclables and green waste (area A) collections will be collected as per the usual Monday schedule. Please put your bins out as normal if your bin day is Monday 11 June.

Customer Service counters at Camberwell, Kew and Hawthorn will be closed on Monday 11 June. On these public holidays, calls to 9278 4444 will be automatically transferred to the emergency after-hours service. Contact us.

You'll still be able to access many of our services online though, including:

All library branches are closed on Monday 11 June.

While the doors may be closed, the library never closes online. 

Access our library services online to read journals or articles like ANZ Reference Centre Plus or ProQuest Research Library, access eBooks and audio books such as Overdrive, Bolinda Borrow Box or Storybox or even watch free films and documentaries via Beamafilm. 

And you can always manage your library account or reserve items online anytime. 

A number of our other services are not available on public holidays, including:

Hawthorn Arts Centre, Town Hall Gallery and Kew Court House will be closed, and will reopen Tuesday 12 June. Second Empire Cafe at Hawthorn Arts Centre will also be closed.

The Boroondara Recycling and Waste Centre in Camberwell will be open. See what you can and can't drop off, and fees that apply.

For opening hours, see the individual recreation centre websites:
