The WA Government has announced the three-day lockdown will end at 12:01am Tuesday 27 April. However, some COVID-safe measures will remain until 12.01am Saturday 1 May.

The following updates to services will only apply if there are no cases of community transmission found, as per the WA Department of Health’s advice. If there are further cases of community transmission found during the course of the week, we will communicate changes to you as soon as possible.

As always, our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our customers and staff.
