Western Australia remains in Phase 4 of WA Roadmap to Recovery with a tentative date set for Phase 5

The Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley wishes to remind members of the community that the State government has extended Phase 4 of WA's 'Roadmap to Recovery'. A tentative date to move into Phase 5 has been set to Saturday 24 October 2020.

Phase 5 would see remaining restrictions removed, except WA's hard border and access to remote Aboriginal communities. The State government will update and confirm in the coming weeks.

A friendly reminder that Phase 4 encompasses the following:

• all existing gathering limits and the 100/300 rule removed

• gathering limits only determined by WA's reduced two square-metre rules

• the two square-metre restrictions will only include staff at venues that hold more than 500 patrons

• removal of seated service requirements at food businesses and licensed premises

• no need to maintain patron register at food businesses and licensed premises

• alcohol can be served as part of unseated service arrangements

• major events permitted, subject to having an approved COVID Event Plan

• unseated performances allowed at venues such as concert halls, live music venues, bars, pubs and nightclubs

• gyms operating unstaffed, but regular cleaning must be maintained

The Shires wishes to remind the community to continue to maintain physical distancing where possible, adhere to the COVID-19 restrictions in place and continue to practice good hygiene.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.
