COVID-19 UPDATES

Last updated 25/05/2020 

The Victorian Government made announcements on Sunday 24 May to ease restrictions, which includes restrictions that impact sports and recreation centres. 

The safety of our staff and community is still our number one priority and the City of Casey and the YMCA are working together to understand when we can safely reopen our centres.  This may be on or after the dates the Victorian Government has outlined while we re-work our programming to adapt and innovate to comply with new physical distancing and hygiene practices.

The dates and requirements the Victorian Government has outlined are:

• From 1 June, swimming pools will be able to open with limits of 20 people and additional safety requirements in place. Community sporting activities will also be permitted with up to 20 people in undivided spaces, provided the sport is outdoors, non-competition, non-contact, and people are able to play 1.5 metres apart.
• Physical distancing and a limit of up to 20 patrons per space will apply, and indoor venues will be required to keep customer contact details.
• If community transmission rates continue to remain low and testing rates continue to remain high, the Government has said they will look to further relax restrictions from 22 June. 
• From that date, indoor fitness and recreation facilities will be able to open with up to 20 people per space and up to 10 people per group or activity at any one time.

We reiterate that our opening dates may be on or after the dates the Victorian Government has suggested to ensure we can safely reopen our centres.  Further information and updates will be provided.
