It is extremely important that all residents sign in using the QR code system, to the facility upon arrival. QR codes are located at all entry points at every club. The Main doors will be the only entry in use during the lock down period.
These restrictions are designed to reduce the risk of further community transmission.

• You do not have any illness OR cold/flu symptoms
• You have not come into contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19
• You must adhere to all social distancing requests
• You will sanitise your hands before entering
• You have not travelled overseas or come into contact with anyone who has travelled overseas in the last 14 days
• All residents are required to sign in via the QR code when attending the facilities to ensure that contact tracing is accurate and available should the NSW Government
require, this information is kept on file for 28 days as required and then disposed of
• Cleaning will take place regularly throughout the day to all touch areas
• A ZERO tolerance policy will be strictly followed, any residents seen not adhering to social distancing, booking times or being abusive to staff or contractors will be asked to
leave the premises and suspension of use of facilities will apply The COVID NSW website is monitored daily and as restrictions change so will the procedures that have been implemented.
The above has been put in place to protect the health of the community and safeguard against potential fines of up to $55,000.00 per club or venue. This has the potential to impact the community budget by $165,000.00 should fines be imposed.
