Bega Valley Shire Council will be closing most of its services for the day on Thursday 23 November for an all-staff development day.

“This is an important day for our staff to connect, learn from each other and think about Council as a multi-faceted community organisation,” Council’s CEO, Anthony McMahon said.

“We’re combining a development day with an end of year get-together to look back at what we’ve achieved and to look ahead at what’s waiting for us in 2024.

“It's a chance for us to work better as a team and reflect on how we can serve the community more effectively.”

Some services will stay open, including the Sapphire Aquatic Centre and other shire swimming pools, Council-run Child Care Centres, the South East Centre for Contemporary Art (SECCA), and the Central Waste Facility (for commercial customers only).

Kerbside waste and recycling collection will also continue as normal.

Our waste transfer stations, libraries, community centres, and our Bega office will close for the day.

“We know this might cause some inconvenience, however, when our staff are well-connected and informed, it helps us serve the community better,” Mr McMahon said.

All services will resume as normal on Friday 24 November.

For more information about services affected, please call (02) 6499 2222.
