The density requirement will move from ‘one person per two square metres’ to ‘three people per four square metres’, which is equivalent to 75 per cent capacity.

The capacity for cinemas, live theatres, performance venues and places of worship with fixed seating will increase to 100 per cent provided attendees are wearing a mask.

Restrictions on dancing will be removed except for venues that are subject to a COVID Management Plan, including venues with over 1,000 people. In those cases, ‘three people per four square metres’ will apply to dance floors.

Dancefloors return to NSW

Dancing will return and venue capacity limits will ease further in NSW, with the state government announcing another major rolling back of COVID-19 restrictions.

From 12:01am Monday 29 March, the cap on wedding and funeral attendance will be removed and there will be no restrictions on dancing, including at weddings and in pubs and nightclubs.

All venues will move to the ‘one person per two square metres’ rule and entertainment venues will be allowed to operate at 100 per cent seated capacity.

Also from Monday, there will be no cap on visitors in New South Wales homes, however if there are more than 100 people there must be a COVID-19 safety plan in place, including electronic recording of visitor details.

Up to 200 people will be allowed at personal outdoor public gatherings, while mask wearing on public transport will move from ‘mandatory’ to ‘strongly recommended’.
