Central Highlands Regional Council revealed the water restrictions were eased from Monday, June 7, after the water treatment plant returned to full capacity.

The town was placed on a series of temporary restrictions after emergency works at the plant were needed in late 2020.

Works to bring the plant back to full capacity were slowed down by parts supply issues.

Council has thanked the Tieri community and Glencore for their patience and collaboration with the lengthy process.

Tieri now joins the remaining Central Highlands communities on level zero.
