STAGE 4 RESTRICTIONS IMPACTING CONSTRUCTION
Additional Information
Tradies and supervisors would be allowed to move between up to three sites a week in order to keep construction going during a six-week Stage 4 lockdown.
But a five-worker limit on new house sites, and a 25 per cent workforce cap for larger sites, will be enforced as planned from midnight Friday 7th August.
In addition, tradies will be banned from carpooling and must flag if they live with others employed at a high-risk workplace. More Details here.
The reality is construction will keep chugging along, spreading the virus quite nicely - thank you once again Mr. Premier.
