The Brickpit
Guidelines for Re-opening post Covid-19 Shut Down
Dear Patrons
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to The Brickpit from July 6
th.
When you return, things will be different and this correspondence is to outline what changes have been made so that all patrons at The Brickpit can enjoy their activity of choice in a safe and respectful environment.
A thorough risk assessment has been performed on the facility and in light of this, the following changes have been made for your return:
Entering and exiting The Brickpit
Please exercise patience if entering from the car park. We only have a single door space at the bottom of the stairs which makes it extremely difficult to maintain social distancing if patrons are simultaneously entering and exiting. If possible, please walk up to the street level entrance to enter the facility.
There will be a hand sanitising station in the car park foyer. Please sanitise your hands when entering and exiting.
Only two (2) people should be in the lift at any time to comply with social distancing (unless members of the same family). Again, patience will be required if more than two people require the lift at any one time.
Entry/Exit arrows will be placed on the stairs to assist with traffic flow. Please keep left.
There will be a hand sanitising station placed at the top of the stairs.
There will be traffic flow bollards placed in the main foyer area. Please stay on the correct side of the barrier when entering/exiting.
The two glass doors of the main entrance will remain open to assist with greater air flow.
Social distancing and gatherings
There should be no mass congregations within the foyer area. Please exercise social distancing in line with government guidelines.
There will be limited spectator chairs on each court to comply with social distancing guidelines. Please do not move these chairs any closer to each other. If you are an organiser of a larger group, you may wish to consider staggering the arrival of your group members so there aren’t too many people waiting to participate in your activity.
Player register
As a group organiser, please keep a register of your players attending each day. This will assist with contact tracing if we do have a confirmed new case of COVID-19.
Drinking water
Please encourage your members to bring their own full water bottle. The current filtered
water bubblers will have the mouth fountain disabled. The water bottle fountain will remain allowing water bottles to be re-filled if required.
Bathrooms and change rooms
Bathrooms will have signage indicating the maximum number of people who should be in there at any one time. If you enter and the maximum number is already in there, please exit and wait or try one of the other bathrooms.
Initially, it is highly recommended that you shower at home after playing at The Brickpit, however there will be limited showering facilities available (every 2
nd shower cubicle will be locked within each changeroom).
Hand sanitising stations will be placed at either end of the change rooms foyer (near where the water fountains currently are) and against the wall leading down to court 4.
Abusive behaviour
Abusive and intimidating behaviour towards other patrons will not be tolerated. If you feel another patron is not complying with the guidelines, please come and see myself or a member of my staff…please do not take matters into your own hands!
Cleaning
My team and I will be disinfecting high touch points (door handles, hand rails, lift buttons, etc) regularly throughout the day.
Kiosk
The kiosk will remain closed initially. Vending machines will still be available for drinks and snacks if required. Sanitising wipers will be placed at each machine so if you use one, please wipe down the buttons before and after.
If re-entering courts from kiosk areas, please be mindful of traffic flow provisions in the foyer area and comply with these.
Please disseminate this information to all your members. If we all follow these guidelines, we can reduce the risk of infection and get you back to regularly enjoying your activity of choice at The Brickpit.

Dear Patrons
Council is mindful of growing community concern about Novel Coronavirus 2019 and takes these concerns seriously, as we do the safety and wellbeing of our patrons at Thornleigh Brickpit Sports Stadium
Consistent with the advice of the NSW Department of Education in relation to attendance at school, if you or your family have visited China in the last two weeks, Council requests that you &/or your children do not attend the Thornleigh Brickpit Sports Stadium until you’ve been back in Australia for 14 days & have no flu like symptoms.
For all other user groups, bookings and court usage will remain as usual. No refunds or credits will be approved unless further information is received from NSW Health enforcing immediate closures, or significant disruptions are incurred.
We also request members and regular users of our facilities adhere to the above mentioned request.
HSC remains in regular contact with NSW Health to ensure all protocols are met and adhered to, and we encourage anyone with flu-like symptoms to seek advice from your General Practitioner or local hospital.
