PUBLIC UPDATE – 23 NOVEMBER 2020
THE LAST STEP: ROADMAP TO COVID NORMAL
CHANGE IS Here!
With the further easing of restrictions announced on Sunday 22 November 2020, WynActive has enacted several changes, effective from Monday 23 November.
More people will be allowed into AquaPulse, Eagle Stadium and the Werribee Outdoor Pool and WynActive will continue operating in strict adherence to our COVIDSafe plans and density requirements.

WE’VE MADE POSITIVE CHANGES TO OUR OPERATIONS, ALL DESIGNED TO KEEP OUR MEMBERS, STAFF AND COMMUNITY SAFE
Here are all the changes you can expect:
High-grade disinfectant and more frequent cleaning
We have significantly increased our cleaning regime. This includes the use of disinfectant in all areas of the facility. Special attention will be given to the cardio equipment, weights, pin-loaded machines and all high-touch surfaces after every use. All equipment, including group fitness equipment will be cleaned between every use and further cleaning to studios and changerooms will be done daily.
Disinfecting high-touch surfaces
Throughout every day our safety attendant team will be disinfecting handrails, lockers, change rooms, sinks, toilets, benches, keyboards, computers and phones.
Giving you access to cleaning products
While we will have minimal equipment in group fitness classes, we have increased the number of wipes dispensers and will be ensuring everyone wipes down their equipment before and after every use.
