INDUSTRY COVID SAFE PLAN
Purpose
As per the information released by the Queensland Government on 25 May 2020 Industry COVID Safe Plans will be developed by industry for industry.
The purpose of the plans are to help businesses and organisations in your industry show the health authorities and the community that they operate safely and can service more customers than outlined in the roadmap.
Interaction Between Approved Covid Safe Industry Plans
If there are multiple activities being undertaken at a venue/facility (for example – dining, sports, approved training courses, fitness or recreational), several approved industry plans may apply. If this is the case, the following will apply:
The approved Industry plans are located at www.COVID19.qld.gov.au.
Overview
Contact Sports and Non- Contact Sports make up of Indoor Sports Group:
Primarily our non- contact sports participants often do not face each other and operate easily with social distancing compliance in large open areas.
Contact Sports – participants do face each other, and incidental and full contact does occur with participants.
Indoor Sports operating in school environments (community sport) will return when school restrictions allow, will be required to adhere to the Department of Education’s operating guidelines for community use of schools.
Stage 3 – allows for the resumption of contact in play areas during normal competition. Social distancing in all other zones.
Each individual sport will complete a sport specific COVID safe operational plan to meet Chief Health Officer requirements and noting points approved and outlined in this Indoor Sport submission.
1. Introduction
The purpose of this COVID-19 Safety Plan (Plan) is to provide an overarching plan for the implementation and management of procedures by Whitsunday Kyokushin Karate Club Proserpine (WKKCP) to support Whitsunday Kyokushin Karate Club Proserpine and its members and participants in the staged resumption of community sport and club activities.
The arrangements set out in this Plan are intended to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 among members, participants, coaches, officials, administrators/volunteers, visitors, families, and the broader community. The Plan provides the framework to govern the general operation of the WKKCP, any facilities it controls, the playing/training behaviour of all members and participants and the monitoring and reporting of the health of attendees at WKKCP facilities.
This Plan includes, but is not limited to, the conduct of:

(Available: http://www.karate.ch/wp-content/uploads/WKF-COVID-Guidelines-June-2020.pdf)

Purpose
As per the information released by the Queensland Government on 25 May 2020 Industry COVID Safe Plans will be developed by industry for industry.
The purpose of the plans are to help businesses and organisations in your industry show the health authorities and the community that they operate safely and can service more customers than outlined in the roadmap.
Interaction Between Approved Covid Safe Industry Plans
If there are multiple activities being undertaken at a venue/facility (for example – dining, sports, approved training courses, fitness or recreational), several approved industry plans may apply. If this is the case, the following will apply:
- Where there is clear separation between the activities (e.g. dining and sport) the relevant plan applies to the relevant area. A COVID Safe Statement of Compliance for the appropriate plan will be displayed in each area. Providers that have opted-in to comply with the relevant Industry COVID Safe Plan in stage 2 may continue to display the Statement of Compliance previously
- Where the activities cross over (for example amenities, entry/exits, carparks):
- Where possible these areas of cross over will be minimised. Such as designating a particular entry, exit, amenities and carpark for each
- Where the cross over cannot be minimised, a decision will be made as to which plan takes priority in which common area and will be
- For example, the entry, exit, carpark and amenities may be common to both activities and will be managed under the dining
- In this case the entity responsible for the dining plan will ensure these areas are appropriately managed and the separate groups from the dining and sport activity will not intermingle.
The approved Industry plans are located at www.COVID19.qld.gov.au.
