RIVERSIDE CONVENTION CENTRE: COVID-19 Press Release
– 25 March 2020
As a ministry centre, Riverside Convention Centre REMAINS OPEN to provide emergency accommodation for Seventh-day Adventist Church members as well as to members of the public who meet the essential services requirements of our Council permit, and current restrictions of the Public Health Directives as issued by Queensland Health.
Our Council permit allows us to accommodate guests traveling for religious and educational purposes, as well as one-off events and special needs. A large percentage of our guests here are special needs, as they are using the Townsville hospital, local medical facilities, or require crisis accommodation. We are also positioned to assist traveling homeschooling families who find themselves with nowhere to go during this time.For
coming weeks and months our guests are required to practice social-distancing and hygiene measures to ensure the safety of themselves and other guests. Guests who do not comply with these government directives will be asked to vacate.
While this is what we currently offer, the situation is changing daily and more changes may need to be implemented. We will continue to follow and implement Government and management directives.
If you have any questions please contact [email protected] or call 0406 871 514.
