What’s Happening in WA?
10 August, 2020
Firstly, can anyone believe it’s August already?! To be honest so much has been happening this year it’s hard to keep track of it all. So we have compiled a quick guide to get you up to date with all the important bits and pieces that are happening in WA at the moment.
1. WA’s Roadmap
In stark contrast to the rest of the country we are so lucky that WA’s COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed even further, as WA’s roadmap is updated to complete the removal of all restrictions.
The WA COVID-19 roadmap that was due to be implemented on Saturday, 15 August, has been delayed and the new tentative date for Phase 5 will now be Saturday, 29 August. A final decision on whether Phase 5 can proceed on this date will be decided in about 2 weeks’ time.
Phase 5 would see remaining restrictions removed, except WA’s hard border and access to remote Aboriginal communities. It would also see the removal of WA’s 2 square metre rule and the 50 per cent capacity for our major venues.
So along with the rest of WA, we are looking forward to the prospect of this happening later this month!
2. HomeBuiler Grant Extensions
We’ve secured confirmation from the Housing Industry of Australia, that the WA Government will allow applicants for HomeBuilder grant to seek a three-month extension of time between contract and commencement due to unforeseen factors outside the control of the parties.

5. We Want the AFL Grand Final!
Even if you’re not an AFL footy fan, I’m sure you have heard all the ruckus surrounding the Grand Final. It’s no lie, we all want it here and it would be an amazing boost to the WA economy, but also would it entice the State Government to lift the boarder bans earlier than anticipated?
What we do know is that the AFL in the coming weeks will decide to move the Grand Final away from Victoria and while it’s no surprise due to the current state of disaster, it doesn’t make the call any less momentous.
