From Monday 2 November, our new public opening hours will be:
Monday: 10.30am – 1.30pm Tuesday: 10.30am – 1.30pm Wednesday: 1.30pm – 4.30pm
Thursday: Closed to the public
Friday: Closed to the public
Our office will still be staffed and Council business will continue as usual outside these hours. The change simply gives our team more dedicated time to focus on the many jobs, projects and behind-the-scenes work that help keep Melbourn running.
Of course, we’re still here to help! You can continue to contact us by telephone and email, and appointments can be arranged if you’d like to speak to a member of the team in person outside of our public opening hours.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
