The five reasons to leave home remain in place. The curfew, from 9am – 5pm, will remain in place. You must wear a mask at all times when leaving your home (unless you have an exemption).
The five reasons to leave home are:
Shopping for necessary goods and services (one person, once per day – limited to 5km from your home or the closest shops to you home).
Caregiving or compassionate reasons.
Authorised work or permitted education.
Exercise (up to two hours, with one other person from the same household, plus dependents if they cannot be left unattended).
Receive a vaccination (you are able to travel more than 5km to get a vaccine).

All of Cardinia Shire Council sporting facilities (including pavilions) remain closed. Outdoor skateparks, basketball courts and outdoor gym equipment will also be closed until further notice.
Play grounds will reopen for children under 12 years of age, with one parent/carer. Masks must be worn at all times.

No clubs are permitted to return to any use, training or competition, until the state government restrictions allow and Council has provided approval. No club or committee members are permitted to enter any Council buildings for any reasons. All clubs and committees are to continue seeking alternative options for committee meetings (virtual meetings).
