Council facilities reopening from June 1
Published on 25 May 2020
From June 1st Council will reopen the Goulburn Mulwaree Library, Goulburn Regional Art Gallery, Rocky Hill War Memorial Museum and the Goulburn Historic Waterworks Museum.
The NSW Government this week announced that museums, galleries and libraries across NSW will be allowed to reopen from June, with strict new protocols in place. Each facility will have guest numbers limited to allow for 4 square metres per person.
Mayor Bob Kirk said he will be pleased to have these facilities open for community use after three months.
“I know how important these facilities are for our community, and am looking forward to having them open again soon for community use.”
“Strict guidelines will be in place for distancing and hygiene, and no tours or groups will be allowed just yet. We will also have 24 hour quarantine of books returned at the library as an example of the measures that will be in place. We cannot reinforce strongly enough that you should not come into our facilities if you are unwell – let’s make sure we can keep them open!”
NSW Health is providing guidance for museums, galleries and libraries to operate, which could include changes to general processes, and certain hours where visitor numbers are able to be monitored and controlled. Council will release further information as decisions are made in the coming weeks.
