Message from Visit Sunshine Coast
The latest COVID-19 developments were certainly not the news anyone wanted to hear. At a time when we are supposed to be focused on welcoming visitors to the Sunshine Coast for the winter holiday period we are instead faced with another uncertain situation.
An update on the latest COVID-19 developments is included below, and we encourage you to stay up-to-date with the latest information via the Queensland Health website.
We know how devastated everyone is to face these restrictions during our school holidays and appreciate how this will impact your businesses.
If you require support or have any questions on the new restrictions please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Industry and Membership Development Manager Andrew Fairbairn, at andrew.fairbairn@visitsunshinecoast.com or 0427 562 100.

Visitors already in Queensland
- Guests will need to follow the mask requirements. Information here.
- Anyone who has been in any of the 35 LGAs of Greater Sydney must follow the stay-at-home requirements. Information here.
As the situation evolves in multiple states and territories, border restrictions are also changing. If you have interstate guests currently staying in your accommodation or travelling with you, they should keep a close eye on Queensland requirements as well as their home state requirements.
All travellers should also regularly check the contact tracing alerts for Queensland and other states where they may have recently travelled. In Queensland, if you have been in a venue that has a contact tracing alert, health advice ranging from getting a COVID-19 test to entering isolation or hotel quarantine may apply. Monitor this page for alerts and relevant public health advice.
