Re: Greater Brisbane COVID-19 Restrictions Easing

This morning the Premier of Queensland and the Chief Health Officer announced the positive news of the Greater Brisbane three-day lockdown to be lifted at 6:00 pm tonight with no new cases of COVID-19 being reported over the weekend.

Queensland Health have released an updated COVID-safe Roadmap for the Greater Brisbane Area, outlining additional restrictions that will be in place from 6pm Monday 11 January 2021 through to 1am Friday 22 January 2021.

Since the announcement and the release of the COVID-safe Road Map, we have been in contact with the Queensland Government, Sport and Recreation and QSport to fully understand what this means for cycling Clubs, members, events/training.

Please note that the following are specific to the sport, recreation and fitness industries and apply to the Greater Brisbane Area:

• Individuals must carry a face mask at all times when outside of home
• Individuals must wear a face mask in indoor spaces, including:

1. indoor recreation facilities (including the Anna Meares Velodrome) and gyms
2. indoor workplaces (where social distancing is not possible)

Indoor events:

• under 500 people do not require approval when following a Covid-safe Event checklist.
• between 500 – 10,000 people require a Covid-safe Event Plan approved by local Public Health Units
• over 10,000 people require a Covid-safe Event Plan approved by the Chief Health Officer

Outdoor events:

• under 1000 people do not require approval when following a Covid-safe Event checklist
• between 1000 – 10,000 people require a Covid-safe Event Plan approved by local Public Health Units
• over 10,000 people require a Covid-safe Event Plan approved by the Chief Health Officer
