Glen Eira Mayor Cr Margaret Esakoff said Council is monitoring, following and acting on the advice of the Department of Health and Human Services Victoria (DHHS), Victoria’s Chief Health Officer, and Emergency Management Victoria.

“For the next six weeks, there are only four reasons to leave home: shopping for food and essential items, care and caregiving, daily exercise, and work and study — if you can't do it from home,” she said.

“This is a very challenging time for our community, especially our local businesses, and it’s important to access your support networks, seek professional support early if you’re having difficulties, and remember to be kind to each other.”

Council will continue to provide the Glen Eira community with updates via our website and social media.
