Health Update - Managing COVID19 Risk

In light of the rapidly evolving global situation regarding Covid19, Council would like to reassure community that we are taking a variety of measures to ensure we are able to continue to provide a high level of support and service, and that we take the health of our community seriously. 

As at 18 March Council enacted a range of measures to minimise risk to public health, including:

Barossa Visitor Centre - reduced face-to-face tourism services and introduction of a window service. Cashless payments preferred

Tanunda Library - closed to the public due to co-location with the Barossa Visitor Centre (where steps have been put in place to minimise risk)

Barossa Regional Gallery - closed to the public 

Council events - cancellation of all Council-hosted events, including library events

Community events at Council facilities - Council is not accepting any new community event bookings at Council facilities. Where there is an existing booking, we ask organisers to consider the options available to them, including cancellation, recommended social distancing and hygiene practices. Event organisers are encouraged to contact our Customer Support team to confirm arrangements.  Our team will also be making contact shortly for your event. 

Community Transport - suspension of  Council-operated community transport shopping and social bus services. Our community individual client car services will continue as usual.

Nuriootpa Library and branch libraries remain open but we ask please use self-service options and respect recommended social distancing and hygiene practices to minimise risk to public health.

This is an evolving situation. We continue to take advice from government and health agencies  and we will continue to keep the community updated.
