Restrictions in Queensland are Changing Tomorrow

December 17 Changes

A reminder that from tomorrow, the Queensland Government will limit access to certain public settings to only those that are fully vaccinated. This includes venues like pubs and sports venues. See the below table for more details.

For clarity, these additional Government requirements do not apply to Hutchies' construction sites or offices.

When checking into the below restricted public settings you will be required to show proof of your vaccination status. This can be done by linking your COVID-19 digital certificate to your Check In QLD app so its easy to access as you're checking in. You can also show a copy of your digital certificate or immunisation history statement.

'Fully vaccinated' refers to when a person has had two doses of an approved vaccine, and a week has passed since the second dose. Whilst booster shots are now available as an additional measure for protection, they are not currently required.

The following table provides a quick snapshot of the upcoming changes to Queensland Government rules for fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Those with only one dose will be considered unvaccinated for the purposes of these new rules. See below links for more info.

Getting Proof of Vaccination

Unsure how to get proof of your vaccination status? Follow the below Services Australia guide for help or contact the Coronavirus Team if you get stuck.

Linking Your Vaccination Certificate

Once you have proof of your vaccination status, you can link it your COVID-19 digital certificate to the Check In QLD app for very quick access to the above settings. See the below guide for instructions on how to make it easier for you to gain access to any location that requires verification of your vaccination status.

New Exposure Sites

With the reopening of borders at the beginning of this week, Queensland has already seen a rise in case numbers with 22 new cases recorded today.

Many of these cases have been active in the community for extended periods of time across Brisbane, Townsville, the Gold Coast, Wide Bay, Goondiwindi and Ipswich.

If you have been in these areas recently, please check and continue to regularly monitor the Queensland Government website as more locations are confirmed.

If you have visited any locations during the posted times please follow the Queensland Government advice and get tested immediately.

Tropical Cyclone Alfred / Preparations for South East Queensland

With the threat of Tropical Cyclone Alfred tracking towards SEQ and forecast to make landfall from Thursday onwards, it is extremely important that we prepare our projects the best we can.

If all projects between Bundaberg and Byron Bay could today start the process of storm / cyclone preparations.

This should be completed and documented using the Inspections > Site Shut Down - Cyclone Preparation Checklist F-084-C tab located on HammerTech.

Please note, any project that has an erected tower crane will also need to ensure they have updated documented advice from their crane engineer outlining the correct weathervane radius, this should be specific to your project.

Hutchies' owned and managed cranes can coordinate this through Bradley Beck, all third party supplied cranes will need to actioned with their nominated representatives.
