Places of refuge
Council has identified a number of evacuation centres for potential use in the case of an emergency or disaster.
In an effort to keep residents and visitors safe, Council has opened Places Of Refuge for residents and visitors who have no other accommodation alternatives.
The community is also encouraged to stay with friends and family first, but if you need to stay at a Place of Refuge.
Please take only essential items, your pillow and blanket, as space is at a premium.
See below for specific information on each centre. A map of these locations is available on Disasterhub.
