Overnight, at midnight, the restrictions over travel between regions within Western Australia came into effect.
All non-essential travel within Western Australia must now stop.
I wish that 2020 could have been another landmark year for Western Australian tourism, but sadly that is not to be.
These measures were unthinkable just a few weeks ago, but sadly they are a step we have to take to protect Western Australians from the COVID-19 threat.
Unless you fit an exempt category, you will now not be able to leave whatever region of Western Australia you live in.
To be clear, those regions are: the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid-West, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, Great Southern and South West. Due to their proximity and interconnected nature, Perth and Peel will be treated as one region.
The exempt categories include: travel for work purposes; to attend medical appointments; to transport freight; those who do not have access to groceries or supplies within their region; returning to a place of residence; where necessary to attend school or an educational institution; caring for family members; and approved compassionate grounds.
Western Australians that are currently outside of their region and are able to return, should do so immediately.
For clarity, the construction and freight industries, in particular, will continue to operate despite these new measures.
Check points and mobile police patrols will be in place to monitor travel across boundaries and ensure people are doing the right thing.
If your need to travel fits one of the exempt categories, please assist police by preparing documentation, such as a letter/email/SMS from an employer, to support your legitimate travel.
I know these restrictions will be inconvenient for many, but they are a vital step for our State in this uniquely challenging time.
Thank you to every Western Australian for your understanding and patience during this unprecedented time.
