As Victoria closes in on its first dose vaccination target of 70 per cent, Premier Daniel Andrews has advised of some easing of restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne as of 11:59pm Friday 17 September.
Of significant importance to the real estate industry, is that inspections will resume by appointment only. To ensure they’re COVIDSafe, only people from the same household can attend the inspection appointment and the real estate agent must remain outside during the inspection.
The initial easing of restrictions also allows for the travel limit to be expanded from 5kms to 10kms, outdoor exercise and now outdoor social interaction will increase from two hours a day to four hours.
Up to five adults, plus dependents, from two households will be able to gather outdoors if all adults present have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Furthermore, two people will now be able to train outdoors with a personal trainer and skate parks and outdoor communal exercise equipment will reopen.
We are looking forward to the surge of activity this first weekend of open for inspections.
