Restriction eased on open home inspections in Western Australia

Up to 10 people at a time will be allowed to attend open homes in Western Australia after the state government eased coronavirus restrictions.

Real estate agents across the state have only been able to show one person through a property at a time in the four weeks since the state government imposed a two-person only restriction on March 30.

These stage 3 restrictions will be eased on Monday in WA, Premier Mark McGowan and Health Minister Roger Cook announced on Sunday.

Real Estate Institute of Australia president Adrian Kelly said, “We would obviously like to see that extended throughout the other states, but at the same time that needs to be done very slow and steady because the last thing we need in Australia is a second wave of the virus to occur … we’ve all worked hard to get this far."

Under the changes, a maximum of 10 people will be allowed at weddings, funerals, outdoor personal training, open homes and display village inspections.
