LOCAL hospitality venues no longer need to worry about the one person per two square meters density limit imposed on January 6, as COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease across the state.

From 6pm last night, the State Government eased COVID-19 restrictions as part of new pandemic orders to be signed by the health minister, allowing density quotients in hospitality and entertainment venues to be removed and indoor dancefloors to re-open.
