Government announcement: The next phase in the Roadmap

The Victorian Premier has announced that effective 11.59pm tonight, Thursday 18 November, nearly all remaining COVID restrictions will be lifted for fully vaccinated people, with Victoria set to hit the 90% double dose milestone for eligible people and reach Phase D of the National Plan.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US AT PARC

In line with the Government guidelines, most of our current COVID Safe settings remain, including being fully vaccinated to enter the facility. Happily, mask wearing is no longer mandatory indoors, but will be encouraged when you can’t socially distance.

All our services, facilities and programs are back to normal, with these requirements:

  • Fully vaccinated environment for anyone aged over 12 years and 2 months: Access to PARC will be in line with the guidelines set out by the Victorian Government. Under these guidelines, every person in the facility must be fully vaccinated (anyone aged over 12 years and 2 months, unless a medical exemption applies),
  • Check-in still required at entry: All members, staff and visitors must check in every time you enter the facility, and display evidence of check in and vaccination status.
  • Density quotients removed: We will be back to normal capacity in our Spa, Sauna and Steam Room, and our Group Exercise classes, and
  • Masks wearing is encouraged when you cannot socially distance.

We remind you that PARC is operating under Government requirements

PROVIDING EVIDENCE OF VACCINATION – NOW REQUIRED FOR OVER 12s

The biggest change under Phase D of the National Plan is that vaccination requirements will apply from the age of 12 years and 2 months, unless a medical exemption applies.

This means anyone aged above 12 years and 2 months needs to show us evidence of their vaccination status prior to entering PARC. This impacts some of our PARC Swim members, Flyers, our Active Kids and Active Youth members, and any patrons aged above 12 years and 2 months.

There are 5 ways you can show COVID-19 proof of vaccination to gain entry to businesses and venues in Victoria:

  • COVID-19 digital certificate via the Service Victoria app
  • COVID-19 digital certificate saved to a smartphone wallet
  • Printed copy of COVID-19 digital certificate – with supporting photo ID
  • Printed copy of immunisation history statement – with supporting photo ID
  • Eligible proof of vaccination exemption – with supporting photo ID

If your child is aged 12-15 years, they must have their own evidence of vaccination.

Important Centre Update:  Main Pool Hall Closure 
Thursday 31 July, back open on Monday 18 August

Please be advised that the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August to allow for essential, unplanned boiler replacement works. During this period, there will also be no hot water to the showers Centre-wide. 

One of the most important systems in our facility is the boiler system, which heats our pools and showers. Unfortunately, we recently experienced an unexpected fault that impacted heating water. As a result, we’re fast-tracking a major replacement to this critical system to restore full comfort and ensure long-term reliability. To safely complete these works, the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August.

The Warm Water Pool and Spa remain operating as normal.

Please visit our website to learn more about these works and impacted services during this time: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/ 

If you would like to suspend your membership for the closure period, you can do so via our website: https://bit.ly/4b35AsV Suspensions used will not go towards members’ allowable suspensions days. 

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we carry out this important replacement. We look forward to welcoming you back to a warmer PARC Main Pool Hall from Monday 18 August.
