Perth & Peel Region
Following Premier Mark McGowan’s announcement yesterday afternoon regarding Perth and Peel Region’s transition out of lockdown, the following restrictions will apply to community sport in these regions from 12:01am, Saturday 3 July to 12:01am, Tuesday 6 July:
- Outdoor community sport is permitted without spectators. The 4sqm rule will apply. Therefore, outdoor training, competition and holiday clinics may resume for Associations.
- Only those officiating, participating or coaching can attend. Adults can attend if supervising a child under 16 years old, provided that there are no more persons than reasonably necessary, and it is approved by the host Association.
- GIG WANL Clubs wanting to train across the next 3-days, must do so outdoors.
- Indoor community sport is not permitted and therefore the Gold Netball Centre will remain closed until further notice.
- Masks are mandatory for indoor public spaces, outdoors and on public transport.
- However, masks may be removed for outdoor vigorous exercise such as netball by players and umpires only when participating in a match or training.
- A 20 person limit and 4 sqm rule will apply for Association venues using their Clubhouse.
For those Associations, in the Perth and Peel Regions who have already made the decision to cancel or postpone their competitions across the next three days, Netball WA will continue to work with them to ensure that they can complete fixtures within the second half of the season.
