COVID-19 UPDATE – VICTORIA

18/10/2021 by Douglas Cross

COVID-19 UPDATE – VICTORIA

Members will be aware that yesterday the Victorian Government announced an easing of restrictions in Melbourne from 11.59 pm this coming Thursday, 21 October.  The Premier’s announcement came as a result of Victoria reaching the 70% double dose vaccination trigger earlier than first anticipated.

Reaching the 70% vaccination point triggers the next stage of the State Government’s “Roadmap”; however the government has also announced the additional relaxation of some community and hospitality industry regulations.

The changes also include the removal of the travel limit restriction within metropolitan Melbourne and the removal of the curfew. However, travel between metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria does not change.  Changes are summarised in the table below.

What does this mean for car washing? 

Page 8 of the Victoria Roadmap provides for “General Retail being open for outdoor service only (plus contactless click and collect/delivery)”.

There does not appear to be a definition of “outdoor”; however, ACWA interprets the regulation as a clear sign that car washing, including self-serve, may be open.

Hand wash undertaken in an outdoor setting would also be permitted.

 Please note mandatory vaccination and Worker Permits are still required. Masks are required to be worn.

The Roadmap can be found here https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-09/Roadmap_Metro_220921_5.pdf?_cldee=c2NvdHRAcHJvd2FzaC5jb20uYXU%3d&recipientid=contact-7a039c0287e8e81180e6000d3ae0def9-ff59b4636be545b2b090d9102eb52230&esid=fba60721-f32e-ec11-b6e6-0022481152b8
