Conditions of Entry – Attendees

This event is being conducted under the Victorian Government – Public Events Framework – Tier 2 Permit.  We have a cap on the number of attendees, that can be inside the venue at any time throughout the 2 days, which is not sufficient to allow total attendance for the entire duration of the day.  The cap is 2500 attendees inside the venue at any one time.

To achieve this cap, we will be implementing the following conditions of entry.

– No spectators – including Grandparents, Relatives, Friends, Private Coaches.
– Both parents can attend, including siblings.
– Only Centre approved volunteers will be allowed to attend, their attendance must be approved by LAVic, via an online registration portal. This portal will open today and close on Thursday 12th March at 11.59 am (midday). Details will be supplied in a separate memo.  Their names will be on the entry list at the gates.
– All attendees will be required to scan in via the QR code, a count of those arriving and leaving will be kept by officials at the gates.
– Athletes are asked not to arrive any earlier than 90mins before their event.
– Athletes will be asked to Compete and then leave the venue immediately after they have finished unless they have a presentation to attend, or the parent has a Centre Duty to perform.
– Athletes cannot stay and watch their other Centre athletes or friends.
– Athletes that have other events during the day that is spaced out by several hours, will be asked to leave the venue and then return closer to their next event.
– If the cap is reached and athletes are outside the venue, the program will stop and announcements will be made to ask people to leave immediately, to allow those athletes to enter the venue.

We will be encouraging the Centres to organise the Centre Duties, as close to possible to the athletes competing to facilitate the Get In, Compete, Get Out approach.

While the above conditions of entry are not ideal, unfortunately, these are the conditions that we must operate under.  We will be working hard to ensure everyone has the same opportunity to compete at State.
