Community diary | Take note of fine change for house gatherings

ALL attendees at private gatherings above the 20-visitor limit at NSW homes now risk being slapped with a $1000 fine under new Public Health Order amendments. Previously, only the organiser of a gathering was liable to receive a fine if the number of people at the premises breached the Public Health Order but now every person in attendance will be held responsible.
