COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information Community Update 13

Moree Plains Shire Council would like to update all residents on the Council services and facilities that are currently operating within the community.

The waste collection service is currently operating as usual with general waste (red bin) collected weekly and recycling (yellow bin) and organic (green bin) waste collected on a fortnightly alternative basis.

All waste facilities, including the Moree Waste Management Facility and our village landfills, are currently open in accordance with their usual operating hours.

These facilities are currently operating under social distancing requirements.

Please be mindful that we are focussed on maintenance of our essential services. We kindly request that community members do not present to our waste facilities with large quantities of domestic general, recycling and organic waste as this may affect our ability to deliver our core waste services.

The provision of treated potable water and sewer operations across the Shire are of highest priority. There are no changes to this service at this time.

The public toilets located on Balo Street remains open; all other public toilets will be closed, until further notice. Cleaning of the Balo St public toilets will be undertaken more frequently.

This facility remains open and specific advice has been provided to families which use this service.

The Moree Pound is currently open and operating under its usual hours, although operating practises are changing to reduce face-to-face interactions. Payments will need to be made over the phone or electronically.

All Customer Service enquiries and payments will be addressed over the phone or by email. Please call (02) 6757 3222 to speak with a customer service staff member or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Unless otherwise noted, all other Council facilities are closed to the general public until further notice.

We thank each and every community member for your understanding and cooperation in these new and challenging times and ask everyone to exercise diligence in complying with the advice of our Federal and State governments.

The information set out in this Media Release is current as at 2pm, Monday 30 March 2020.
