Increasing venue capacity

Public Health officials have increased capacity at venues and theatres, as well as further measures to support industry confidence so that events can proceed as planned.

In addition to changes to theatre and cinema seated capacity, outdoor sporting events will be able to move to 75% seated capacity from the 1st of January.

Public Health has also approved Christmas Church Services to go beyond their current density cap to 75% seated capacity for Christmas services commencing this Sunday, with an exemption to remain in place to allow this to occur until the following Sunday the 27th of December.
