Christmas Trading Hours
Burdekin Shire Council is reminding residents and businesses of the upcoming changes to trading hours over the Christmas and New Year period.
With the festive season fast approaching, Council offices and services will operate under adjusted hours to accommodate for the holidays. These changes will ensure that essential services remain available while providing our staff with a well-deserved break.
Please read the closure periods attached for details on the Council Chambers, Burdekin Library Ayr and Home Hill branches, Burdekin Theatre and swimming pools.
Additionally, Council’s Waste Facility sites will close at 1:00pm on Christmas Eve. This early closure aligns with the operation times of other Council facilities, allowing staff to prepare for Christmas Day and spend time with their families.
Kerbside waste collection will operate as normal over the festive season.
Whilst all Council facilities will be closed on Christmas Day, several critical service areas within Council will remain operational to address emergencies and ensure the ongoing safety and well-being of the community.
For urgent matters during the closure period, you can still phone Council at 4783 9800. You will be connected to the after-hours support centre that will forward your request to the officers on call.
Council thanks the community for their understanding and wishes everyone a joyful and safe Christmas and New Year.
