The WA State of Emergency has been extended to June 11, however the easing of restrictions means that York is welcoming visitors again. The Visitor’s Centre is primed for the upcoming Public Holiday and expects to see York active as a key tourist hotspot for the Wheatbelt region.

The Shire of York is following the advice of the WA Department of Health, and introducing changes to slow the spread of COVID-19 in the community. We anticipate that there will be some constraints to service delivery as a result of COVID-19, particularly where we cannot safely implement hygiene or social distancing measures

This weekend saw an influx of visitors in and around town and with the further easing of the regional boundaries the expectation is that the upcoming public holiday weekend will be busy too.
