We’re very excited to let you know that restrictions are changing for BALC on Saturday 30 October. This means we can reopen with a 1 person per 4m2 density limit.
From 6am on Saturday 30 October, the Health Club, pools, Group Fitness classes, and café will return to 1 person per 4m2.
From Monday 8 November swimming and gymnastics lessons will restart and the Children’s Centre will reopen.
We will have more information about Healthy Kids memberships soon. Stay tuned for more information.
From Saturday 30 October, if you are aged 16 and over you will need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to visit BALC, unless a medical exemption applies.
Members will only need to show proof of vaccination once. You can do this anytime you visit between now and Saturday if you’re visiting this week.
All memberships will be reactivated on Saturday 30 October. You can suspend or cancel your membership before 30 October if you don’t want your membership to be reactivated.
You must register with the Victorian Government app on arrival at the Centre and you must wear a mask while at the Centre.
