While rumour has it, the Easter Bunny has been given a special egg-emption to Stage 3 restrictions set by the State Government, for everyone else, it’s egg-stremly important to stay home this Easter long weekend.

Remember there are only four reasons to leave your home:

1. Eggs- ercise

2. Shopping for egg-sentials

3. Work or egg-ducation

4.  Medical Care

Visiting the Easter bunny is not permitted. The Easter bunny will come to you.

Here are some great ideas of things to do while you’re at home at this weekend, and ways to stay connected with loved ones on special days.

Now is the time for a giant Easter egg hunt in the back garden, some fun egg decorating at home or bunny themed face painting, ready for your video call. 

Don’t forget playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gyms are now closed.

Bayside Beaches remain closed until further notice although walking paths can still be accessed. You are able to use the foreshore area for recreational exercise (surf, swim, bike ride, walk, run, etc.) but congregating is not permitted and social distancing guidelines must be adhered to.

Life Saving Victoria is advising people not to go swimming at this time. If you choose to go swimming, you do so at your own risk and should be aware that there are currently no “proactive” lifesaving services on Victorian beaches.

Dog beaches are open and normal dog walking restrictions apply however we are urging people to act responsibly.

Fishing, hunting, boating, camping and golfing activities are strongly discouraged based on advice from the Chief Health Officer.

If you are questioning whether or not to do something. The simple answer is don’t.

Stay home, save lives… and have a happy Easter at home.
