Hilltops Council Storm Recovery Update – Harden Administrative Building and Chambers
Hilltops Council is committed to keeping the community informed during the ongoing recovery from the recent storms that affected our region. As part of these efforts, we are providing updates on the status of our Customer Service operations and the repairs to our Administrative Building and Chambers in Harden.
Temporary Relocation of Customer Service Office
Customer operations were reinstated in Harden on Thursday 13 February 2025 with a temporary customer service office set-up in the Harden Library (based in the Trinity Centre on East Street).
This is a temporary arrangement, and hours of operation are aligned with that of the library which is Monday to Friday 10am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 5pm (cashier desk closes at 4.30pm). Customers are asked to visit during these times or please call 1300 445 586.
Progress on the Harden Council Administrative Building and Chambers
Council has engaged a remediation Contractor to treat the significant water and mould damage. Depending on the level of damage, Council may need to undertake further structural assessments before repair works can commence. These assessments should be completed in the coming weeks.
The temporary office located at the Trinity Centre will continue to operate until the Harden Administration Building repair works are completed.
We thank the community for their continued understanding during this challenging time. Further updates will be provided as soon as more information becomes available.
