Adjustments to immunisation services and livestock exchange sales have also been made.
All immunisation sessions have been moved to Strathdale Community Centre for the foreseeable future.
Council said the centre was chosen due to its large capacity, available car parking and ability to support social distancing measures. It will also allow council to apply all its efforts to maintaining the necessary hygienic practices in one centre only.
