After further analysis by our technical team today, there are some important clarifications to make regarding industry changes for the easing of restrictions to ‘RESTRICTED’ on September 28, from yesterday’s email message.
 
Any other information from yesterday’s message that is not listed below remains as stated yesterday. Over the next week, we will update our website with information for each stage with information and FAQs in readiness for September 28.
 
SMALL -SCALE CONSTRUCTION:

  • On-site/office-based activities to resume with density quotient applied - Does not apply until 'Open with COVID-Safe plan' stage, 26 October, instead;
  • Corporate staff should work remotely and all site offices to apply density quotient - Applies to the restricted stage, 28 September
  • Display homes open by appointment only with physical distancing and density quotient for enclosed spaces, temperature testing and contact tracing procedures – Does not apply until 'Open with COVID-Safe plan' stage, 26 October
  • The supply and install of building materials is exempt from the workforce limits providing that the workgroup is kept separate to other workers – Does not apply to the restricted or 'Open with a COVID-Safe plan' stages. MBV will continue to make representation to government on this issue.

 
EARLY-STAGE LAND DEVELOPMENT:

  • On-site /office-based activities to resume with density quotient applied, and workers encouraged to work from home when possible - Does not apply until Green stage, 26 October

We apologise for any confusion these changes cause.

In addition, the Premier made reference to gardening and similar outdoor services being allowed under ‘RESTRICTED’ stage. Whilst there is currently no confirmation of this in the documentation provided, MBV is working with the state government to establish what this will mean.
