10 minute read  11.08.2020 Jeanette Barbaro, Maisie Hull, James Mullins

To assist you in navigating the restrictions, obligations and permissions that have been imposed in Victoria under the COVID-19 Stage 4 Restrictions, we have prepared a comprehensive Guide and compliance checklist which can be accessed below.

Since 5 August 2020, the Chief Health Officer has issued a number of Directions under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 which impose obligations and restrictions on various industries, sectors and places of work.

To assist your understanding of what these Directions mean for your construction site, our comprehensive Guide contains:

  • access to the Directions relevant to the construction industry as at 9am on 12 August 2020
  • a summary of which construction sites and workers are impacted
  • an explanation of what construction work can continue under the Directions
  • an overview of the permissions and restrictions that apply to the construction industry
  • a summary of the key requirements that must be met
  • the key contractual impacts you should consider
