Local Member of Parliament, Mr Tony Piccolo has welcomed the announcement by Australia Post that the Munno Para Curtis Rd Post Office will re-open this morning in a temporary location within the Playford Shopping Centre.
Mr Piccolo said he has been working with Australia Post and the City of Playford since fire damaged the current Post Office to ensure that local people could access a Post Office in the Munno Para area in the lead up to Christmas.
“In my discussions with Australia Post, I expressed the view that should the existing Post Office not be able to re-open by early December, then an alternative temporary site should be found,” said Mr Piccolo.
“When it became clear from my discussions with the City of Playford that the existing site could not be re-opened until next year some time I asked Australia Post to re-open a temporary site as soon as practicable.
“I am pleased that Australia Post have accepted the request and the temporary Post Office with re-open this morning at Shop 12 / 297 Peachey Road, Munno Para.
“I have found both the City of Playford and Australia Post to be very co-operative and this is a good result for the people in the Munno Para area.
Normal trading hours will resume at the temporary location, with normal electronic counter transactions, banking services, mail products and postpak, mail collection and posting.
8:30am – 5:00pm Monday – Friday
8:30am – 12:00pm Saturday
Mr Piccolo said he has been advised that the Post Office box mail would be available for box holders to collect at the new site with the same box number and key, as they will be relocated to the temporary location.
