October 4, 2021
Following the announcement of multiple positive cases in Gunnedah Shire and associated case contact locations, NSW Health have announced the Gunnedah Shire Local Government Area will return to lockdown from midnight October 4 until October 11.
Under the stay at home rules, everyone must remain at home unless they have a reasonable excuse to leave. Reasonable excuses include: shopping for essential items, medical care or caregiving, for essential work that cannot be completed from home and outdoor exercise with a member of your household or one other person.
Given these developments, Gunnedah Shire Council will move back to the orange stage of the yellow-orange-red Coronavirus Response Strategy, with non-essential facilities to close for face-to-face services. Council staff are still available to assist you over the phone on (02) 6740 2100 or online.
Thank you for your understanding. Further information in relation to Council services will be available tomorrow.
