The City of Mandurah has confirmed "some staff members" who had been temporarily stood down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have returned to work.
At the beginning of April, it was revealed 95 full-time and part-time City of Mandurah staff had been stood down - accounting for almost 20 per cent of the City's entire workforce.
It was unknown how many additional casual workers were also affected.
The staff temporarily stood down were employed in roles directly related to operating venues that were forced to close their doors amid the crisis - including the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre, local libraries and the Mandurah Museum.
Now that restrictions have eased to allow all of those facilities to reopen in some capacity, City of Mandurah chief executive Mark Newman said staff would start to get their jobs back.

Mr Newman added that the health and safety of staff and the community was the City's "top priority".
"The return of staff is being done in a safe and considered way," he said.
"As we've been re-opening more of our facilities and services as of Saturday, June 6, we are really happy that things are starting to return to normal.
"This includes some staff members being able to return to their workplaces across the facilities that have re-opened.
"We encourage the community to use the facilities and services that have re-opened as we make the transition to near-normal."
