Brighton, Sandringham, Hampton and Beaumaris libraries are now also open for visitors. 

The Bayside Gallery remains closed.

Face masks continue to be mandatory both indoor and outdoors.

Please do not visit a Council facility if you are feeling unwell or have been tested for COVID-19 and are waiting on a test result.

To see the latest restrictions, visit the Victorian Government Coronavirus (COVID-19) website.

Checking in via the Victorian Government QR code service is now mandatory in a Council facilities, shops, cafes and other businesses etc regardless of how long you visit.

Checking in helps with contact tracing and keeps Victoria safe and open. When you check-in, you create a record of the time and date you visited a venue. This means that if there is a COVID-19 outbreak, contact tracers can quickly access your contact information and get in touch with you, if you’ve visited a public exposure site.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested - this includes cold or flu like symptoms, such as a cough, fever, sore throat, shortness of breath or runny nose, even if these are mild.

The closest testing sites are at Sandringham Hospital (walk up) and Brighton Golf Course (drive through) – see location details.

Council is not a COVID-19 vaccination provider but there are number of vaccination providers in Bayside or within a short distance of Bayside including at Sandringham Hospital. 

This includes Victorian Government vaccination sites such as mass vaccination centres and hospital vaccine clinics and Australian Government providers including GPs. Find out more about vaccinations.

Bayside is a connected and responsible community and we urge our residents to do the right thing and follow the restrictions.

We all need to do our part.
