New One Stop Shop Service for Carlingford

Carlingford Library will provide One Stop Shop services from 4 August. Customers can pay their Baulkham Hills Shire Council rates and register their cat or dog. 149 certificate applications will also be taken.

Baulkham Hills Library in Railway Street Baulkham Hills also offers this range of services.

Castle Hill Library and the new Vinegar Hill Memorial Library at Rouse Hill also provide access to the full range of Council services including DA lodgement.

Payment may be made by cheque, EFTPOS or credit card. Cash payments are not accepted. 1% surcharge applies for credit card payments.

So, the next time you make a trip into the library how about making it a One Stop Shop!
