• Restriction on the number people at the venues to 1 person per 2m2 for outdoor events or 1 per 4m2 for indoors events or 75% allocated seated and ticketed capacity for indoor events and outdoor events.
• Attendees must wear a mask when unable to stay 1.5m apart from people who are not part of your household (excluding when competing, on the field of play or for a permitted reason).

Members and affiliates in the affected areas are advised, that if you are travelling outside the areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Moreton Bay, Townsville and/or Palm Island Local Government Area (LGAs) the above restrictions apply from 4pm today.
