While the easing of coronavirus restrictions in Western Australia has been welcomed by many, the hospitality and tourism sectors have warned that a lot of businesses still will not be able to open.The Tourism Council is worried about the impact of keeping the Kimberley region closedThere are also concerns about "a nightmare scenario" for the Kimberley region, which remains closed off to travellers as it heads into what is normally its peak season.
Premier Mark McGowan announced today up to 20 customers at a time would be allowed to have a sit-down meal in a cafe, pub or restaurant from May 18, so long as there was room to allow four square metres of space per patron. The Windsor in South Perth is one of Perth's biggest pubs, and manager Max Fox-Andrews said it was likely to stay closed.He said while the hotel had plenty of space for the four-square-metre rule, it was not economically viable to open for only 20 patrons.
"Given the size of the venue, and given the kitchens and the power and the perishable product we'd have to purchase in order for us to remain open, we go by the saying 'it's better to be fully open, than half-open'," he said."With 20 people I don't believe that can be created. I also believe it's not profitable for a business of our size.
All the Alkos getting cut ? Lol

Beauty businesses are for the vain. Opening up the country's borders to allow families to see each other is more important than, nails hair, botox and god knows what else you think will make you look better.
They should stay in their safe place then.
Great stay home so we don't have to worry about you, look out the windows at the people that are enjoying life!
why only max 10 in a restaurant? why not like a shop; the bigger the shop the greater number of humans allowed in it...how come?
Well those people who are not happy about the easing of restrictions in WA, need to start using their intellectual faculty instead, of letting senseless FEAR dominate their lives. Otherwise, they'll be unnecessarily living in perpetual mental anguish.
For those who are not happy stay locked up let the rest of us get on with it

Just goes to show that businesses rely on too people who are scared to look old. Cry me a river. You chose a business that injects Botox in vain people. NON-ESSENTIAL!
