• Recreational swimming – one swimmer/patron per lane, no spectators will be able to enter facility.
• No group bookings are permitted.
• Session times will start on the hour with a 45-minute swimming time. This will allow time to enforce social distancing and clean between swimmers.  At end of your swim, please leave the facility immediately.
• Social distancing requirements will be in place upon entry and throughout the facility. Lane allocations will be made by centre staff.

Casual usage rates will apply and memberships will not be reactivated at this time.

Heightened cleaning will be in place.

We will continue to monitor the situation and make operational changes as needed.

Waste management facilities 

To avoid travelling, we encourage all residents to utilise their three-bin and bulk collection services for the disposal of waste. 

If you consider that your waste disposal needs justify essential travel, waste can be taken to Woy Woy or Buttonderry waste management facilities which are open at these times: 

• Monday to Friday
  7:00am – 4:00pm
   
• Saturday, Sunday & Public Holidays
  8:00am – 4:00pm

Kincumber Waste Management Facility remains temporarily closed for maintenance work.

We do ask that if you do need to use Council's waste management facilities that you use electronic payments where possible to protect the health of the community and staff working at the facilities. 

Customers are also asked to stay at home if they are feeling unwell and to maintain social distancing at all times onsite.
