As per the latest rulings, community facilities can now open, and the two‑square‑metre rule is the only limit on the number of people who can attend. No group limits apply.
The Victorian Government has also introduced a new role – “COVID Marshall” to ensure that there is someone at all times taking responsibility to ensure that the covid safe rules are followed.
Please see: https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/covid-marshals and familiarise yourselves with this requirement, which must be implemented for all subgroup activities at the CAV.
