Northern Beaches Council will open customer service centres at Mona Vale, Dee Why and Manly on Saturday 25 August and Saturday 1 September from 9am to 12pm.

The extended opening hours are to assist residents pay for beach parking permits and other special parking permits, which are due for renewal, and to conduct other Council business.

Permits for Bayview’s Rowland Reserve, Church Point Reserve and Palm Beach’s Woorak Reserve/Iluka Park as well as beach parking permits in general cannot be purchased online.

General Manager Customer and Corporate Helen Lever said the Saturday opening hours would mean greater flexibility for our residents who wouldn’t have to fit in a trip to Council during the working week.

“It’s a busy time of the year with rates due and parking permits to be renewed, and we understand people may not be able to get to one of our Customer Service Centres during business hours.

“It makes sense to extend our hours at this time of year,” Ms Lever said.
