We are working with our community to build a strong, connected and resilient Canning. There are a number of COVID-19 recovery projects that will build a more connected and resilient community and to support those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.



In line with Phase 4 of the State Government’s Roadmap, our facilities and services are now nearing normal operations. As the Phase 5 easing of restrictions has been delayed, a number of measures remain, including the 2 square metre rule. Healthy hygiene and physical distancing also remains necessary. You can find the State Government’s Roadmap and information related to easing of restrictions here.
