Easing of restrictions – Council meetings update

Jul 2, 2020, 13:20 PM

The State Government has announced Phase 4 Easing of Restrictions, introduced on 27 June and removing existing gathering limits.

With the introduction of Phase 4, all existing gathering limits and the 100/300 rule have now been removed.

Physical distancing measures still apply. All attendees at council meetings are required to comply with the 2 square metres per person rule.

Ensure seating is appropriately arranged to give every person 2 square metres and if greater access for the public is needed, consider broadcasting the meeting to another room. This room must also allow for 2 square metres per person.

If your venue cannot accommodate all council members and necessary officers, you could consider a mixture of in-person and electronic attendance until further restrictions are eased.
