The City welcomes the Victorian Government’s announcement of an easing
of some restrictions in place to help slow the spread of coronavirus
(COVID-19).
In line with the statewide changes, the City will open public access
to a range of outdoor spaces from Tuesday 26 May, including:
- Playgrounds;
- Outdoor gym equipment; and
- Skate parks
When these spaces re-open, people are
not permitted to gather in groups of more than 10 and should maintain a 1.5
metre distance from others, as well as practise good hygiene.
The number of people permitted to gather at
playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gym spaces will increase to 20 from Monday
1 June, but social distancing requirements will remain.
The City will roll out updated signage at
playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gym equipment.
We are also reviewing the Government’s
directions regarding the easing of restrictions for other City facilities
affected and moving quickly to implement plans to ensure they can safely
re-open from 1 June.
