These changes came into effect at 11.59pm last night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Metropolitan Melbourne: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No more than 10 participants in a group and not more than 10 in total at the outdoor facility at any one time except where a reasonable distance can be maintained at all times. A <em>reasonable distance<\/em> is not defined. Our interpretation of a reasonable distance is a minimum of 1.5m between participants. Please liaise with your venue owners (in most cases Council) for how this will best work with your venue layout using a common sense approach to ensure groups are clearly separated.<\/li>\n<li>Community tennis competition can restart. For the purposes of competition, you can have as many people present at the venue as required to run the competition.<\/li>\n<li>One supervisory adult is allowed on site per child.<\/li>\n<li>People must still stay within 25km of their primary place of residence or workplace, playing tennis competition is not a reason for travelling beyond the 25km. Government has indicated this restriction may lift on 8 November, but this will depend, as always, on COVID case numbers.<\/li>\n<li>Equipment can now be shared provided it is cleaned between users.<\/li>\n<li>Changerooms and toilets can open, clubhouses and indoor sitting areas must remain closed.<\/li>\n<li>If you operate a canteen, caf\u00e9, restaurant, fast food or cafeteria please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au\/coronavirus-sector-guidance-accommodation-and-food-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guidelines for hospitality<\/a> for how you may be able to operate. Refer to item 12 Food and Drink facilities in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhhs.vic.gov.au\/restricted-activity-directions-melbourne-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Restricted Activities Directions No.15<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Regional Victoria:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Indoor tennis will resume from Wednesday 28 October for participants aged 18 and under in Regional Victoria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result of the above changes we have updated the Community Tennis Guidelines:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/news-and-events\/covid-19-information-tennis-toolkit\/tennis-toolkit-metro-melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Tennis Guidelines \u2013 Metropolitan Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis.com.au\/vic\/news-and-events\/covid-19-information-tennis-toolkit\/tennis-toolkit-regional-victoria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Tennis Guidelines \u2013 Regional Victoria<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please continue to remind your players of COVID safe protocols so tennis can continue as restrictions are eased.
