Thanks to the efforts of all Victorians and our strong vaccination rates, COVID-19 restrictions have eased further.
Wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory for visitors to Council facilities.
This includes our libraries, customer service counter in Sandringham, Gallery and maternal and child health centres. You are welcome to continue to wear a mask if you wish to and carry one in case you cannot remain 1.5m apart from other visitors or staff.

Please do not visit Council facilities if you are unwell or have tested positive for COVID-19.
Vaccinations
Beaumaris, Black Rock and Sandringham are leading the way in Bayside on the uptake of third doses of COVID-19 vaccinations. In children 5-11 years Brighton East is leading the way with 60-65% having their first jab, with the rest of our municipality hot on their heels at 55-60%.
