COVID-19 Resources For Businesses

We are here to support our local businesses and professionals during this uncertain and unprecedented time. On this page you will find a directory of dedicated information and resources for your business to respond to COVID-19.

City of Prospect COVID-19 Response

City of Prospect has taken a number of important and proactive steps to protect our community and staff as we face this unprecedented situation of the global COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and the nationwide Public Health Emergency.

We need to take all reasonable steps available to protect our community, our Elected Members, our staff and volunteers (and their families) against the spread of this infection while ensuring we deliver services as close to ‘business as usual’ as possible. Put simply, our staff are looking to ‘step up, rather than step back’ as we confront these challenges together.

The core of our intent with any response to COVID-19 is to preserve service delivery to our community, and to do so safely.

Currently, many of our local City of Prospect businesses are still open for trading and we encourage you to support local where you can.
