Important Updates – Patron Cap and Region/State Events Registration Portals

  • Further easing of COVID-19 restrictions
  • Update on State & Region events & portals

Patron Cap

With the State Government further easing Covid restrictions last Sunday, Anthony Macintosh, CEO of Little Athletics Victoria, advised Centres this week of changes to the covid restrictions that directly effect Little Athletics. In part, the following was provided:

Face masks: wearing face masks is no longer mandatory indoors or outdoors unless 1.5m physical distancing is not possible. Face masks must, however, be carried (or readily available) by all present 12 years and older at Little Athletics sanctioned events.

Patron limits: have been raised to a maximum patronage of 1000 (up from 500) inclusive of athletes, parents and spectators.

This is great news for us at Knox LAC, and from this Saturday, restrictions that were in place are no longer needed. Family members are welcome to attend.

All persons entering the facility are still be required to sign in with the QR code (or manual sign in if you wish) and persons 12 and older must carry a face mask. Sanitising is still required upon entry, and at events and all other covid protocols remain in place.

Knox LAC Executive Committee would like to thank everyone for their patience and commitment over the past few weeks to ensure the centre complied with the 500 patron cap rule.

Update on State & Region events & registration portals

LA Vic provided a further update on Wednesday on the registration portals opening for upcoming region and state events. With the changes announced on Sunday by the State Government, it has meant that any event over 1000 patrons must seek a permit from Government through the Public Event Framework (PEF).

LAVic are working through the PEF permit process, which has unfortunately delayed the opening of the registration portals for the regional and state events. Once these permits have been obtained, the registration portals will open. LAVic is asking everyone to be patient and will advise everyone once the portals are open.
