Be Yourself. Be Happy.

Of the grand order of folio leviathans, the Sperm Whale and the Right Whale are by far the most noteworthy. They are the only whales regularly hunted by man. To the Nantucketer, they present the two extremes of all the known varieties of the whale. As the external difference between them is mainly observable in their heads; and as a head of each is this moment hanging from the Pequod's side.

Stay Positive. Always.

The latest on NSW roadmap freedoms

October 8, 2021
-
Posted by ASE News

Since Dominic Perrottet took over as premier there have been a few minor tweaks to the NSW restrictions roadmap.

All roadmap freedoms at 70% and 80% will continue to be for fully vaccinated people only.

Currently the density limit at both 70% and 80% is one person per 4 sqm

Here is the update for 70% – effective next Monday

Restaurants and hospitality

  • Hospitality reopens with density limit for up to 20 people per booking (takeaway only for people who are not fully vaccinated).
  • No singing indoors (except for performers). So we can go to a bar or club and listen to live music – yay!
  • Drinking indoors must be seated, but drinking outdoors may be seated or standing.
  • Dancing permitted outdoors, dancing indoors not permitted (except at weddings). Look out for outdoor bars with music.

Events and entertainment

  • Major recreation facilities (including stadiums, theme parks, and race courses) reopen with density limits for up to 5000 people, or by exemption. The exemption bit is new.
  • Entertainment facilities (including cinemas and theatres) reopen with the greater of the density limit or 75% fixed seated capacity. Hamilton and Come From Away reopen from 19th October
  • Information and education facilities (including art galleries, museums and libraries) reopen with density limits.
  • Ticketed and seated outdoor public gatherings permitted for up to 500 people with density limit.
  • Amusement centres and nightclubs remain closed.

Weddings and religious services

  • Weddings ceremonies permitted with density limit for up to 100 people (5-person limit for people who are not fully vaccinated).
  • Wedding receptions permitted with density limit for up to 100 people (not permitted for people who are not fully vaccinated), eating and drinking must be seated, and dancing is permitted.
  • Funerals permitted with density limit for up to 100 people (10-person limit for people who are not fully vaccinated) and eating and drinking must be seated.
  • Places of worship reopen with density limit.
  • Up to 10 fully vaccinated singers may perform in places of worship and at religious services.

At 80% (expected to come into effect on Monday 25th) there is not much change at this stage for our industry except wedding receptions that go from a limit of 100 pax to the density limit (1 per 4 sqm)

Events and entertainment

  • Major recreation facilities – no change
  • Entertainment facilities – no change
  • Information and education facilities – no change
  • COVID safe outdoor gatherings permitted for up to 200 people.
  • Controlled outdoor public gatherings (ie – fenced, seated ticketed) increased from 500 to 3,000 people with density limit.
  • Nightclubs and strip clubs reopen with seated drinking and no dancing – Are the strippers allowed to dance?

Weddings and religious services

  • Wedding ceremonies permitted with no person limit (5-person limit for people who are not fully vaccinated), density limit still applies.
  • Wedding receptions permitted with no person limits (not permitted for people who are not fully vaccinated), eating and drinking while standing, and dancing is permitted, density limit still apply. 
  • Funerals permitted with no person limit (10-person limit for people who are not fully vaccinated) and eating and drinking allowed while standing, density limits still apply.
  • Places of worship reopen for people who are not fully vaccinated with density limits.
  • Up to 10 fully vaccinated singers may perform in places of worship and at religious services.

Interesting question re nightclubs from a reporter at Thursday’s presser:

It’s probably not important for the older generation, but if you’re 18, 19, it’s probably top of mind. Nightclubs, right? You’ve got a change where they can open at 80%, but seated, no dancing. Isn’t that the whole point of going to a nightclub, going out for a dance?

Dominic Perrottet:

I agree. On the current road map, (dancing is) down for 1 December…but in my view, if they’re operating within their licence arrangements and they want to use their premises in a way that’s not technically a nightclub, but a bar, well, that just makes perfect sense.

You shouldn’t just categorise nightclubs and say they should be closed to 1 December. So, I think this change provides those businesses that opportunity to open up. Look, I acknowledge the point of the question. Young people have done it pretty tough during this period of time. This is, for many, the best years of their life, at 18, 19, and they haven’t been going out, go clubbing and doing that. I want to thank them. And we’ll get those clubs open as quickly as possible.
