Update on Restrictions 2 January 2021 | NSW Government
Given the risk of COVID-19 transmission on the Northern Beaches and across Greater Sydney (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains), the following adjustments are being made.
From midnight tonight, the southern zone of the Northern Beaches will be subject to the same restrictions as Greater Sydney.
Restrictions for the northern zone of the Northern Beaches remain the same with stay at home orders in place until 9 January 2021;
- No visitors to the home.
- Five northern zone residents can gather outdoors (not at homes) for exercise and recreation, from within the same zone.
- Non-essential businesses remain closed.
Given the general risk in Greater Sydney, new measures are required to reduce the transmission potential of COVID-19 while maintaining economic activity.
The following measures for Greater Sydney (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains) are effective from midnight tonight:
- Face masks will be mandatory in the following indoor settings:
- shopping (retail, supermarkets and shopping centres)
- public/shared transport, indoor entertainment (including cinemas and theatres)
- places of worship
- hair and beauty premises.
- Face masks will also be mandatory for all staff in hospitality venues and casinos and for patrons using gaming services.
- Compliance will start from Monday, 4 January 2021 with $200 on the spot fines for individuals for non-compliance. Children under 12 are exempt but are encouraged to wear masks where practicable.
- Gym classes reduced to 30 people.
- Places of worship and religious services limited to 1 person per 4sqm up to a maximum of 100 people per separate area.
- Weddings and funerals limited to 1 person per 4sqm up to a maximum of 100 people.
- Outdoor performances and protests reduced to 500 people.
- Controlled, outdoor gatherings (seated, ticketed, enclosed) reduced to 2,000 people.
- Night clubs not permitted.
People are still encouraged to limit non-essential gatherings and reduce their mobility where possible to further minimise the risk of transmission in the community.
Whilst these measures do not apply to areas outside Greater Sydney (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains), we urge all residents and visitors across the State to practise COVID safe behaviours and get tested even if symptoms are mild.
We thank the community for their patience and understanding.
Our priority is always to protect the health and safety of the community.
Tennis Centre Reopens
The rules now state that tennis is allowed – see link
… Outdoor recreation activities:
If you are living or staying in the Northern Beaches, you may leave your home for outdoor recreation activities.
Outdoor recreation includes activity that supports mental, physical or emotional wellbeing. This includes picnics, golf, tennis, water-based activities (swimming, boating, jet-skiing, fishing, paddle boarding), and taking children to outdoor public playgrounds.
In the northern zone, no more than 5 northern zone residents can participate.
In the southern zone, no more than 10 southern zone residents can participate.
I have been in touch with Service NSW and they confirmed that tennis is allowed. There can be as many as 10 on a court according to them. I think we should limit it to four on a court to be safe.
On this basis I think it is ok to reopen the courts but not the Clubhouse. The new toilet can be open.
As in COVID practices used earlier in the year, all players must book a court with Scott (including club times) . Players must play then leave the area when finished.
As a result there will be no organised Club social play and no provision of balls for play. Doubles is ok, but again no organised Club social play- people will have to organise their own matches. The usual club booking rules will apply.

Update on the restrictions for the Christmas 2020 period | NSW Government
Modest adjustments to restrictions allowed the community to enjoy Christmas in challenging circumstances, but it is important to remember that COVID-19 may still be circulating in the community.
Taking into account updated health advice on the risk to the community from Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant, the following conditions will be in place from midnight tonight until 11:59pm December 30.
For the Northern Beaches peninsula zone (North of Narrabeen Bridge, and east of the Baha’i Temple):
- Given the ongoing risk, this area will return to ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions, with no indoor gatherings allowed.
- Up to five people, including children, will be able to gather outdoors for exercise or recreational activity.
- People may not enter or leave this zone.
For the remainder (southern zone) of the Northern Beaches:
- Given the ongoing risk, this area will return to ‘stay-at-home’ restrictions, with no indoor gatherings allowed.
- Up to 10 people, including children, will be able to gather outdoors for exercise or recreational activity.
- People may not enter or leave this zone.
Residents of the Northern Beaches are able to leave for four permitted reasons:
- Shopping for food or other goods and services
- Travel for work or education purposes if unable to work from home
- Exercise
- Medical or caring reasons.
A Northern Beaches resident now located elsewhere in NSW is exempt from these restrictions provided it has been at least 14 days since they have been in this local government area. If it is less than 14 days, they need to follow the relevant restrictions for their area of residence, regardless of their current location, until the 14 days has elapsed. For these people, outdoor gatherings continue to be restricted to two people.
