Aug 6 COVID-19 Update

On August 2 and 3 Premier of Victoria, Dan Andrews announced stronger lockdown measures that will affect the full state of Victoria. 

Domestic building and construction is among the industry category that is permitted to continue operation as a key contributor in the state’s economic recovery. As the Premier has stated, building and construction is the lifeblood of the Victorian economy. 

The new restrictions, to take effect from 11:59pm Friday 7 August 2020, include changes to domestic construction work sites:

• Maximum of 5 workers permitted on sites at any one time, plus the site supervisor,
• Mandatory implementation of a business COVID Safe Plan.

Harmac Homes has implemented a range of adapted processes in alignment with advice from health authorities and Government departments as we continue to prioritise the wellbeing of the wider community, including our team, partners and stakeholders.

Together we can do this.
