Update - Easing of Greater Brisbane Restrictions
This morning, the Premier made an announcement that the temporary restrictions affecting the Greater Brisbane area will be lifted as scheduled.
This means that as of 1:00am, Friday 22 January 2021, Clubs and facilities in the greater Brisbane area will revert to existing restrictions in place prior to the lockdown. Specifically, this includes:
- masks no longer required to be worn by staff and patrons;
- patrons no longer required to be seated when eating and drinking;
- patrons again being allowed to dance in accordance with existing restrictions; and
- a return to the one per two square meter patron density limit indoors.
The Premier has reiterated the importance of venues to collect contract tracing information from patrons.
Further guidance
Shared Equipment - Golf Australia’s recommendation is for Clubs and facilities to continue the use of these Covid-19 Local Rules as it the most adequate way to meet the Covid Safe Plans practices around hygiene and sanitisation of shared equipment under current restrictions. A facility may choose to allow the removal of flagsticks, rakes in bunkers, NTP’s and score cards, however, this shared equipment needs to be washed or wiped with antibacterial wipes or alcohol-based sanitiser prior to and after each use.
