All Western Downs Regional Council Customer Service Centres, Depots and Libraries will close for a short time over the Christmas and New Year period.
All Council Customer Service Centres will be closed from 5pm Wednesday 23 December and will reopen at 8am Monday 4 January 2021.
For any Council-related emergency calls over the closure period, residents are encouraged to call 1300 COUNCIL (1300 268 624) and their call will be directed to Council’s emergency after hours service.
All Council Works Depots will close at 3pm on Friday 18 December and reopen on Monday 11 January 2021.
All Western Downs Libraries will be closed for the Christmas period, in line with Council’s Customer Service Centres. The online eLibrary will remain available for people to enjoy eAudiobooks, eBooks, eMagazines and eMovies throughout the period.
All Council waste facilities – except the Winfields Road Waste Facility – will be closed Christmas Day, however rubbish and recycling collection services will continue to operate as usual across the Christmas/ New Year period. Residents are encouraged to ensure their bins are placed out for collection by 6am on their respective collection day because with people away for the period, and fewer bins to collect, it’s likely the truck will arrive earlier.
All Council-owned aquatic centres will be closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Western Downs Cinemas will be closed on Christmas Day.
Dogwood Crossing at Miles and Gallery 107 at Dalby will also close for the Council shutdown period. Lapunyah Art Gallery at Chinchilla will close from 12pm Saturday 19 December through to 9 January 2021.
The region’s cemeteries will operate as per normal hours and the Dalby Saleyards will not have any scheduled sale events between 17 December and 12 January.
