The COVID-19 pandemic will have a dramatic impact on the day-to-day lives of our community and the operations of the City for some time, and we acknowledge there are some challenges ahead.
 
The City is working to provide relief to those that need it, support to our staff, and to protect the health and wellbeing of residents, businesses and visitors. 
 
We’ll also be looking at what we can learn from this situation, and how we can improve our current services.
 
Mayor Penny Taylor
 

COVID-19 relief and recovery strategy

The City of Subiaco now has a strategy in place to guide recovery efforts in response to COVID-19. You can view the strategy, along with other COVID-19 information on our website. www.subiaco.wa.gov.au/coronavirus.

Following today's announcement by the Prime Minister, the City will await advice from the State Government Department of Health about the reopening of public facilities, services and businesses. The City is planning for the relaxation of restrictions, and will implement changes in accordance with State Government directives, as these are provided.
