24.01.2022 The City of Greater Geraldton has been closely monitoring the WA COVID-19 Roadmap and as of Saturday 5 December, particular venues and businesses will be required to maintain mandatory contact registers to support COVID-19 contact tracing. Records will only be used for the purpose of contact tracing, should it be required, and will only be kept for 28 days. Businesses or venues required to keep a contact register include: ... Food and licenced venues (restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, taverns and nightclubs) Gyms, indoor sporting centres and pools Places of worship and funeral parlours Beauty and personal care services including hairdressers and barbers Galleries and museums Cinemas, theatres and other entertainment venues Auction houses and real estate inspections Community facilities, libraries and halls Zoos and amusement parks Function centres Accommodation facilities that already have check-in arrangements in place (i.e. hostels, hotels, large camp grounds) The details required for the contact register will include the date, arrival time, names and telephone numbers. Any person aged 16 years and over who attends a business, place or premises, listed above, including patrons, staff, volunteers and contractors will be required to register their contact details.

The State Government have also released a free app, SafeWA, to help patrons check in and reduce the burden on businesses. The app is a contactless solution but not mandatory. Alternative formats for contact registers are available, including other electronic tools or a paper-based system, depending on what is suitable for the business, venue or individual. All updates and information are being released in a timely manner as more decisions are made about facilities and services, and there will be updates on the City’s website and social media channels.
