Dear Queensland Golf Clubs and Facilities,
Golf Australia is writing to provide further assistance and guidance to Queensland golf clubs and facilities regarding the change in Stage 3 restrictions announced by the Queensland Government 24th July, 2020.
To date Queensland Golf Clubs have done an amazing job in managing the strict restrictions in place due to COVID-19 which has allowed many golfers to have access the game they love through these extraordinary times. Golf Australia and our clubs/facilities must ensure that the Queensland Government requirements continue to be met to ensure that the risk of transmission continues to be minimised.
Changes to seating and alcohol service requirements
Queensland’s Chief Health Officer (CHO) announced the requirement for hotels, pubs, clubs and nightclubs to return to seated drinking and dining immediately.
People can still go up to a bar and buy a drink, but they must then sit at a table. They can sit at the bar if there are chairs, provided they meet patron density requirements.
Clubs that offer sporting facilities, such as Golf, Bowls and Tennis can still allow food and liquor to be consumed in their outdoor sporting areas, but patrons must be seated when drinking or dining in their licensed restaurant or clubhouse.
The Industry COVID Safe Plans are currently being updated to reflect these changes and we will notify you when they are available. Please Click more info to view the current industry COVID Safe Plans.
