FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

STAGE 3 RESTRICTIONS RETURN FOR MELBOURNE LGA’S

The State Government has announced a return of Stage 3 restrictions in Metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire. Motorcycling Victoria need to inform our riders and clubs how this impacts us all.

 

Firstly, with the Mitchell Shire returning to State 3 restrictions, this will mean that the Broadford State Motorcycle Complex must again close its gates from 11.59pm tonight. This will have a significant impact on the complex and the affiliates who have bookings.

 

 


If you have been issued with a Motorcycling Australia or RPA permit for during this time period and you are within the LGA’s affected by the Stage 3 restrictions, your permit is invalid – please make arrangements to cancel your event.

 

For those clubs, coaches and riders outside of the LAG’s listed, you can proceed with your return to sport as planned for now. If this changes we will advise you as quickly as possible. We ask you to be especially vigilant with who attends your event, no-one from the LGA’s affected is permitted to leave their home for the reason of Motorcycling Activity, this is unfortunately not listed as one of the four reasons people can leave.

 

To re-cap if your main place of residence is within Metro Melbourne or the Mitchell Shire, as of 11.59pm tonight (8th July 2020) you are only permitted to leave your home for one of the following reasons:

  1. To shop for food, medication and other necessary goods and services.
  2. To access medical services or provide caregiving
  3. Work or education (if necessary)
  4. Essential Exercise
