Buronga Pump Track closure notice
The Advanced pump track in Buronga will be closed for the day on Friday 19 December.
Council is installing a new timing sensor that will be available for public use once works are complete. This upgrade forms part of Council’s ongoing investment in improving facilities at the Buronga Riverfront Pump Track.
The track will reopen as soon as installation is finalised. Council thanks the community for its patience while this improvement is carried out.

To protect the health and safety of staff and the community, Council waste transfer stations will close on days when temperatures exceed 40 Celsius. The Buronga Landfill remains open per normal operating hours.
Please check Council’s website and Facebook page for updates before visiting a transfer station during extreme weather conditions.
