A strict five step process must be adhered to prior to the resumption of club activity. No club will be permitted to return to activity at a Town facility until the following steps have been completed.
Step 1: complete and submit this online form
Step 2: complete and return the COVID-19 Safety Management Plan:
The State Government have mandated that a COVID-19 Safety Management Plan is required of all clubs returning to activity.
Here is a form that must be completed and returned to bookings@porthedland.wa.gov.au prior to approval being given for the resumption of activity. Safety Guidelines have also been attached with a checklist that should make preparing your plan easy. Your sport governing body may also be able to provide code specific advice useful for preparing your plan.
You should consider questions such as:
- How do we ensure the limit of 20 participants is not exceeded?
- How do we prevent spectators attending training?
- How will we prevent contact between participants?
- How do we ensure a distance of 1.5 meters is observed at all times?
- How do we minimise/eliminate the sharing of equipment?
- How can equipment be regularly sanitised?
- How do we ensure our club/change rooms are not accessed by participants?
Step 3: Arrange a facility meeting with a Town Recreation Officer
Clubs must meet with a Town representative at their facility within two weeks of the resumption of club activity. The online Booking Reactivation Form gives you the opportunity to suggest a preferred time for a meeting. The Bookings Officer will be in touch to arrange this meeting.
Step 4: Wait to receive formal approval from Town Recreation Officers
Do not arrange or advertise training sessions with club members until formal approval has been given by the Town of Port Hedland. Permission to resume will not be granted unless Steps 1, 2 and 3 have already been completed. Please allow for two business days to receive a response from the Town.
Step 5: Display the Sport and Recreation COVID-19 Safety Plan Certificate at your facility
Included with the attached Safety Management Plan is a certificate that can be printed and displayed at your training facility. Please note that there will be random facility inspections and it is a State Government requirement to have these certificates displayed.
