Here is a summary of the Victorian Roadmap as it affects events and entertainment
Hospitality
Phase A:
Hospitality businesses can offer takeaway services only.
Phase B:
Hospitality businesses will be able to reopen to fully-vaccinated customers, for seated, outdoor service only. A maximum of 50 customers will be allowed at a time, with a density cap of one person per four square metres.
Phase C:
Food and drink businesses will be able to offer services indoors, to fully-vaccinated people, with density limits still in place.
Small venues can open to up to 25 people, before the density limit applies.
Larger venues can open to up to 150 people indoors and 500 people outdoors, with density requirements applied regardless.
Nightclubs will also be able to re-open to fully vaccinated people, with a cap of 150 people inside and 500 people outside. Only seated service will be allowed.
Entertainment
Phase A:
Entertainment venues will remain closed, with five people able to attend a venue to broadcast a performance.
Phase B:
Entertainment venues will be able to open to up to 50 fully vaccinated guests, for outdoor entertainment only.
Amusement parks will be able to open to a maximum of 50 fully vaccinated people, outdoor only.
Phase C:
Indoor entertainment venues will be able to reopen to up to 150 fully-vaccinated guests, with density restrictions of one person per four square metres of space.
Outdoor, seated entertainment will be available to fully vaccinated people, to a maximum of 5,000 people per venue, or 25% of capacity, whichever is lower.
For outdoor, non-seated entertainment, such as zoos or other attractions, capacity limits will be lifted to 50%. Indoor spaces will still have a 150-person cap, with density restrictions in place.
For amusement parks, the outdoor capacity limit will increase to 500 people per space.
Weddings and events
Phase A:
Weddings will still not be permitted, with the exception of end-of-life or other compassionate reasons.
Phase B:
Up to 50 fully vaccinated guests will be able to attend a wedding, outdoors only.
For people who are not fully vaccinated, up to 10 guests can attend, plus the couple and anyone required to conduct the ceremony.
Phase C:
Up to 150 fully vaccinated people can attend a wedding indoors, with density limits in place. Up to 500 people can attend an outdoors event.
For people who are not fully vaccinated, the rules will not change at this stage.
