COVID EASING: SOME GOOD NEWS

The Premier’s press conference is just concluding as we ‘go to print’ and what we can confirm –

• Good news regarding retail. Preparations for retail re-opening can begin immediately and retail can open up on Wednesday! Or at 11.59pm Tuesday night! All the best to all of our retailing members and good luck with getting those customers through, and products out.

• Not so good news regarding the 25km rule. This stays until 8 November. Whilst this is only two-weeks away, for those disadvantaged by this unfair rule, it is no good at all. We will liaise with the Minister and the various departments to see if some fairness can be provided for those that live 26km away from the water.

• Cafes and dining for our boat and sailing clubs can resume, subject to the various rules regarding numbers indoor, numbers outdoor, and distancing.

• Some competitive sport including sailing will be able to resume. Please click here for further information on community sport and more specifically, sailing.
