Gympie Regional Council is asking the community to use online services.

While Council contact centres remain open at the Gympie Town Hall and Kilkivan office, residents and customers are being urged to use phone, email and online services.

If customers need to attend these centres in person, Council is respectfully asking people to use bank cards instead of cash if possible. Social distancing measures have also been put in place for those who wish to attend the Town Hall or Kilkivan office.

“If anyone in the community is unsure about how to access our online services, you can still call our 1300 307 800 number and one of the team will talk you through the process,” said Gympie Regional Council CEO, Bernard Smith. “We want to make sure the community and Council are able to remain flexible in the services we provide during this time,” he said.

In response to the Federal Government’s social distancing laws, the following Council buildings are now closed: • 242 Mary Street office • The Pavilion • Gympie Regional Libraries • Gympie Regional Gallery • Visitor Information Centre • Planning and Development reception.

Planning and Development staff can be contacted during working hours via Council’s online services including email or telephone via: • www.gympie.qld.gov.au • https://daonline.gympie.qld.gov.au • Planning: Phone 5481 0454.
