Council will be deciding the King's Birthday public holiday dates for the next three years at its meeting to be held 17 February 2025.
Under the Public and Bank Holidays Act 1997, WA local governments may request the King's Birthday public holiday be celebrated on an alternative date of significance within its district, instead of the date proclaimed for the rest of the State.
We're asking the community to provide feedback on whether the public holiday should continue to be celebrated on the first Monday in August for the next three years, or if the date should be changed to September to align with the rest of the State.
