With the recent announcement by the Victorian Government of the road map out of covid lockdown we now have a clearer path to starting our summer track and field season. LAVic have provided a memo to centres that updates the current situation. You can read the road map here
The key points are:
Current situation – Come & Try Days and any form of modified competition are not permitted.
Metro Melbourne remains locked down.
26th October – sanctioned training and coaching scheduled to re-commence for metro Melbourne; no change for regional Victoria.
5th November – metro Melbourne and regional Victorian restrictions become aligned under the National Plan (‘Phase C’); competition scheduled to commence, with restrictions.
The Executive Committee is working on an updated season calendar based on the above and we will be looking to start the season on the 6th November.
While the road map does state that the outdoor recreation facilities may open from 5th October, we do not have any further advice as to whether this includes the track or if council will open the facility prior to the 26th October. We will advise members if council does permit the track to be open for exercise.
Centre training/coaching
LAVic have also advised that notwithstanding more relaxed settings around personal training in recent days, this has no bearing on the status of sanctioned Centre training/coaching in Metro Melbourne. Training/coaching is still not permitted.
