THE Geelong Chamber of Commerce has joined an alliance of similar organisations from regional Victoria \u201cpleading\u201d for the state government to ease coronavirus restrictions on Monday next week.
\nThe Victorian Regional Chambers Alliance comprises 12 chambers and business associations from across the state.
\nTheir representatives, including Geelong Chamber of Commerce<\/a> chief executive officer Ben Flynn, have all signed the letter to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews.
\nThe letter, released earlier this week, states regional Victoria appreciated the harsh restrictions needed to achieve the low levels of coronavirus here – which include a 14-day rolling average of 0.4 cases and no cases with an unknown source for two weeks.
\nThe alliance also appreciates the reasons for waiting for metropolitan Melbourne (in the Second Step of the coronavirus roadmap) to \u201ccatch up\u201d to regional Victoria (in the Third Step), but the regional economy \u201ccontinues to needlessly suffer\u201d.
\n\u201cThe hospitality sector, as well as being a major employer of our young people, is such a critical part of the recovery of our devastated tourism industry and it is simply not viable for them to continue under their current restrictions. They are haemorrhaging money trying to stay afloat and keep their staff employed.\u201d
\nThe alliance believes there is \u201cenormous concern\u201d about coming events such as the AFL grand final and the Melbourne Cup.
\n\u201cIf people are unable to book into a venue due to small patron caps, it is inevitable there will be an increase in illegal private gatherings.\u201d
\nThe letter also states \u201cindustries who have been left behind\u201d such as gyms and indoor group fitness could have been included in the first reopening.
\n\u201cFinally, on many occasions, it can be days or weeks for detailed information to be available online after it is announced publicly.
\n\u201cThe industries throughout regional Victoria are now well equipped and ready to be open.\u201d
\nMr Flynn said the alliance formed about six months ago and had regular contact with the state government but this week\u2019s letter was their first formal communication to the government.
\n\u201cRegional chambers were experiencing the same difficulties as their businesses, and we created a fortnightly catchup, and from that we felt the regions needed a voice direct to government.
\n\u201cGiven no cases in the G21 region, it is safe to extend dining, for instance, to extend tourism if we can, the arts, and things in a social capacity as well.
\n\u201cBusinesses in regional Victoria are significantly impacted, and many of them are going to the wall, and they need to be able to get back to operating profitably – but also beyond that, being able to plan, moving forward, to operate with some normality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
