The restaurants, cafes and bars of Chapel Street are calling on the Victorian Government for an urgent review on the numbers of people allowed to sit down in COVIDsafe businesses. Justin O'Donnell, Chairperson of Chapel Street Precinct Association, has said the 'one size fits all' capacity regulation could see 20 to 30 per cent of the area's largest employers permanently shut down.
'Our State Government's one size fits all approach does not work financially for many Chapel Street Precinct businesses, particularly many of our larger businesses that are some of our precinct’s largest employers, ' he said.
Chrissie Maus, General Manager Chapel Street Precinct Association, called on Mr Andrew to take action to save jobs. 'For every Chapel Street Precinct business lost, the economic strain becomes greater and the rebuild to our urban metropolis longer,' she said.
