REVISED RESTRCTIONS for METRO & REGIONAL
REVISED RESTRICTIONS: METRO MELBOURNE & REGIONAL VICTORIA
UPDATE: Friday 30th October, 2020.
Bowls Victoria today participated in a number of meetings with various agencies and the State Government, which have resulted in confirmation of a number of changes to our previous advice.
This advice is current as of today, 30th October 2020, and affects both Metro Melbourne and Regional Victoria.
There are 3 key areas of change:
MASKS
Masks are now mandatory, and all conflicting information has been corrected. This is a Victorian Government directive. Further detail can be found in the Return to Play Guidelines below.
ACCESS TO CLUBHOUSES
We have received clarification that access to clubhouses is permitted where there is a bar, café or restaurant. Clubs which only have a clubhouse, with no hospitality offering, are only permitted to open toilets and changerooms.
PLAYER NUMBERS & GREENS
Groups of up to 10 people are permitted outdoors on greens, but groups must now be 10m apart. This rule does not apply to pennant, pennant practice or other state events. Information on this change can be found in the sections titled “Number of players” and “Types of Competitions”.
