This page brings together all the information relating to how the club will need operate as we emerge from the restrictions of the Covid lockdown.Please read these rules and ensure that you are strictly enforcing them as we commence our operations.
Below is a communication received from council regarding the introduction of the stage 3 lockdown. Therefore, in line with the State Government announcement of restrictions from 11:59 Wednesday 8th July, the club will no longer have access to grounds and all teams should cease their training.
Whilst this is very disappointing, I know we were all looking forward to playing this weekend, we have to comply with government guidelines. The wider impact for the rest of the season, will need to be addressed, so please bear with us whilst this is addressed.
Good Afternoon,
I hope you are all keeping well as the COVID-19 situation develops further.
In response to the most recent State Government announcements to return to Stage 3 restrictions across metropolitan Melbourne, Council will withdraw all access to sportsgrounds and pavilions effective Wednesday 8 July 11:59pm.
This measure will remain in place for the next six weeks with updates communicated to club liaisons as further advice becomes available. Clubs will continue to have access to storerooms throughout this period to enable equipment management and maintenance to occur, however social distancing protocols should be strictly enforced.
Please ensure this announcement is widely distributed to your network to prevent coaches scheduling training on Council sportsgrounds. It is essential that individuals are aware that use of Councils sportsgrounds without permission will likely void club insurances and in the instance where an injury occurs during unauthorised access, club officials may be personally liable.
The Recreation and Events team will continue to be available throughout this period and will provide updates as new advice is provided by both the Federal and State Government.
We appreciate your support throughout this period and we hope that our sports community and their extended families remain safe.
Further easing of restrictions COVID-19 announced by the State Government.
Announcements confirmed that from:
From 22 June access to changerooms including showers will be made available – adherence to social distancing remains essential.
Access to indoor spaces for up to 20 people while adhering to social distancing requirements will be permitted.

This will be updated as we receive further information from the council.
PLEASE NOTE! - As it currently stands, we do not have any access rights from council to operate on any council provided land. All tenancy agreements were withdrawn at the start of lockdown and haven’t been reinstated as yet.
As we commence our training programs these are the rules that we must apply to all our training sessions.
Weekends will not be made available for the purpose of training, we have instead extended access to include Monday and Fridays previously not allowed. VicPol have been notified of our approved allocations and will enforce DHHS penalties to anyone found breaching these restrictions. We are aware that sportsgrounds are used by non-Bayside Clubs who will be issued the maximum fine. Please ensure your club doesn’t find itself in this position.
