FURTHER COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS EASED

Gatherings in outdoor public spaces and group bookings at restaurants will be increased to 30 people under a relaxation of COVID-19 rules.

Now:
  • 30 people can gather outdoors in public spaces (previously this was 20);
  • 30 customers per booking, and 30 customers per table at hospitality venues (previously the rule was a maximum of 10).

As of 16 October, corporate functions of up to 300 people can be held at appropriate premises, including restaurants, subject to a COVID-safe plan (previously just function centres).

Additionally, from 1 December, the number of people who can attend weddings will be lifted to 300 people subject to the four square metre rule indoors and two square metre rule outdoors.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the NSW Government remains focused on managing COVID-19 and opening up the economy in a COVID-safe way.

“These changes will provide a big boost to our hospitality venues,” Ms Berejiklian said.

“As we ease restrictions and find new ways to get businesses moving it is vital that customers and venues continue to be COVID-safe.”

Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said this was another important step in driving our economic recovery while returning to life in a COVID-safe way.

“We continue to remain focused on stimulating the economy, keeping businesses in business and people in jobs,” Mr Perrottet said.

People still need to continue to follow the personal hygiene recommendations, maintain physical distancing and wear masks in indoor settings where you cannot physically distance. Businesses wishing to take advantage of the relaxed restrictions must use electronic methods, like QR codes, to record and keep contact details.
