Under new COVID-19 laws released Monday, outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people have been permitted.
The lifted restrictions permit a range of outdoor activities, however all indoor sporting facilities will remain closed.
This is a positive step forward for our community."

Eddy said he was hopeful that over the next month the state government would shift its attention to the indoor space.
"We hope we can get to a stage where we are allowed to have limited groups within the court environment for skills development, and hopefully that can progress to a modified form of competition," he said.
"This is a positive step forward for our community and I think that while we are all eager to be doing things as soon as possible, I think the government is doing a great job of stepping us through cautiously."
Eddy said Basketball Ballarat would meet with local clubs this week to discuss what a competition model would look like once restrictions were lifted.
He said he hoped to see players utilise this opportunity to play outdoors when the weather allowed in the meantime.
