In the lead up to theatres and cinemas being able to increase their capacity from 1 February, the Tasmanian Government has been working with Public Health to enable patrons’ safe return.
As part of the Framework for COVID-19 Safe Events and Activities in Tasmania introduced late last year, theatre and cinema capacity limits were able to increase to 75 per cent capacity, up to a maximum of 250 people.
Following further industry consultation, larger venues will be able to apply for an increased venue capacity up to 75 per cent above 250 people effective from 1 February 2021.
