Bayside’s $4.6 million COVID-19 response
Council is providing a COVID-19 support package of more than $4.6 million to assist the community to recover over the 2019/20 and 2020/21 budget years. This is made up of support assistance, fee waivers, refunds and grants for reactivation activities.
Council continued to provide a full range of essential services throughout the period of COVID-19 restrictions. Up to 60 staff were redeployed to assist in delivering essential services and supporting the transition to operating in a virtual environment.
Cr Evans paid tribute to the efforts of Council staff, and in particular Community Care Workers, who had offered outstanding support to their clients during the pandemic.
