Council supports VicRoads services in Mallacoota Tuesday 09 April

Residents in Far East Gippsland will soon be able to conduct VicRoads business closer to home, with the Mallacoota Customer Service Centre to become a VicRoads agency on Tuesday, April 16.

The East Gippsland Shire Council facility will be the third council site to operate a VicRoads agency, joining Omeo and Orbost customer service centres.

The agency will offer a number of core functions, which will be increased over time.

Acting Director Community Strategy Wayne Richards said he was pleased council was able to support maintaining a VicRoads presence in Mallacoota.

“It is important for government services to be accessible to our residents. There are some tasks that can only be completed face-to-face," Mr Richards said.

Providing a VicRoads agency at our Mallacoota Customer Service Centre means residents won’t need to organise a trip to Orbost to sit a Learner’s Permit test, for instance.”

Some of the services available at the Mallacoota VicRoads agency are:

 Learner Permit and Boat Licence tests and licences Concession – register renewal Re-registration of vessels Clearing a defect notice Work diaries Photos for licenses: firearms, security etc Registration transfer

 The VicRoads agency will operate on Tuesdays from 2-4pm and Fridays from 10am to 12 noon.

Bookings are essential and can be made at the Mallacoota Service Centre or by calling council on 5153 9500.
