Updated as at 30 December 2020:
Stay-at-home orders will stay in place until at least 9 January for the northern zone of the Northern Beaches, and at least 2 January for the southern zone.

Small gatherings in the home will be permitted on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, however.
For the north and south (and all of greater Sydney) this means a total of five guests inside a home, including children.
All other times between now and the above dates reverts to stay at home provisions – no entering or leaving your zone (aside from the usual exemptions) and no visiting between homes (including outdoor living areas).
For the Northern Beaches peninsula zone (North of Narrabeen Bridge, and east of the Baha’i Temple), the following rules apply until January 9:
- The health situation remains volatile and the current restrictions will remain in place to supress community transmission.
- However, indoor and outdoor gatherings will be allowed for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day but will be restricted to five visitors in total from within your zone (and includes at homes).
- Current arrangements allowing five people to gather outdoors (not at homes) for exercise and recreation, from within the same zone, continues.
- No restaurants, cafes, pubs or clubs (except for takeaway) will be permitted to open, including for New Year’s Eve.
For the remainder (southern zone) of the Northern Beaches, the following rules apply until January 2:
- The health situation remains volatile and the current restrictions will remain in place to supress community transmission.
- However, indoor and outdoor gatherings will be allowed for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day but will be restricted to five visitors in total from within your zone at a home.
- Current arrangements allowing 10 people to gather outdoors (not at homes) for exercise and recreation, from within the same zone, continues.
- No restaurants, cafes, pubs or clubs (except for takeaway) will be permitted to open, including for New Year’s Eve.
