City Notices: Infrastructure Updates and Essential Health Advisories for April 7

Public Service Announcement: Return to Regular Operations

Following the conclusion of the Easter long weekend, official services across the Perth metropolitan area will resume standard operating hours on Tuesday, 7 April 2026. Residents are advised that while most municipal offices and community facilities return to their regular schedules, several public works projects and health advisories remain active throughout the city. The City Council and state authorities urge the public to remain informed of local disruptions and health guidelines as the working week commences.

WA Health Advisory: Active Measles Alert

WA Health has issued a high-priority advisory to the Perth community regarding an active measles alert. As of early April 2026, there have been five confirmed cases of measles identified within Western Australia this year. Health officials are calling for increased vigilance, particularly among residents who have recently visited public spaces or returned from overseas travel. Symptoms to monitor include fever, tiredness, a runny nose, cough, and sore red eyes, followed by a characteristic red blotchy rash. Because measles is highly infectious and can remain in the air for up to 30 minutes after an infected person has left an area, the Director of Communicable Disease Control has urged anyone showing symptoms to seek medical advice via telephone before visiting a GP or emergency department to prevent further transmission.

City of Perth: CBD Infrastructure and Obstruction Permits
