| WA to Move to Phase 4b Restrictions
|
|
| The further easing of COVID-19 restrictions from Monday, March 15 will allow Local Governments to increase patronage for some of their community facilities.
|
|
Under Phase 4b, the capacity for outdoor and indoor venues, including community, recreation, performing arts, indoor and outdoor auditoriums and amphitheatres will increase to 75 per cent.
If the 2 square metre rule is greater than 75 per cent capacity, the greater option will be permitted for these particular venues and events.
The 2 square metre rule will continue to apply to all other unfixed seating venues and facilities including libraries, museums and sport and recreation facilities including gyms, recreation centres, group fitness classes and indoor and outdoor swimming pools and events with a COVID Event Plan.
New Directions will be released to reflect the proposed easing of restrictions.
|
|
| FAQs and a full list of venues and events covered by Phase 4b restrictions can be found here.
