DIRECTION FROM DEPUTY CHIEF HEALTH OFFICER (COMMUNICABLE DISEASE) IN ACCORDANCE WITH EMERGENCY POWERS ARISING FROM

DECLARED STATE OF EMERGENCYArea Directions (No. 2)

I, Dr Annaliese van Diemen, Deputy Chief Health Officer (Communicable Disease), consider it reasonably necessary to protect public health to give the following directions pursuant to section 200(1)(b) and (d) of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008 (Vic.) (PHW Act):1 Preamble

(3) These Area Directions must be read together with the Directions currently in force.2 Citation

(1) These directions may be referred to as the Area Directions (No. 2).(2) A reference in any other direction to the Area Directions is taken to be a reference to

these directions. 3 Commencement and revocation

(1) These directions apply beginning at 11:59:00 pm on 4 July 2020 and ending at 11:59:00 pm on 19 July 2020.

5 Addition or exclusion power(1) The Chief Health Officer or Deputy Chief Health Officer may add to or exclude from

a Restricted Postcode any suburb, locality, address or other identified area, if satisfied that such an addition or exclusion is appropriate, having regard to the:(a) need to protect public health; and(b) the principles in sections 5 to 10 of the PHW Act, as appropriate.

(2) An addition or exclusion under subclause (1) must:(a) be in writing and published on the website of the Department of Health and

Human Services; and(b) specify the relevant suburb, locality, address or identified area with sufficient

particularity.(3) An addition or exclusion under subclause (1) does not prevent an authorised officer

from exercising an emergency power to give a person a different direction or impose a different requirement on the person.

6 Relationship with other directions(1) If there is any inconsistency between a Direction currently in force (or a provision

of such a direction) that applies generally to the State of Victoria and an equivalent Direction currently in force (or a provision of such a direction) that applies specifically to a Restricted Postcode, then the Direction that applies to the Restricted Postcode prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.Example: if the Stay Safe Directions (No. 3) permits gatherings in public places in Victoria of up to 10 people, but the Stay At Home Directions (Restricted Postcodes) permits gatherings in public places in Restricted Postcodes of only up to 2 people, then the Stay At Home Directions (Restricted Postcodes) provision on gatherings in public places prevails in those Restricted Postcodes to the extent of the inconsistency.

7 Definitions In these directions:(1) authorised officer has the same meaning as in the PHW Act;(2) Directions currently in force means the Restricted Activity Directions (Restricted

Postcodes), the Restricted Activity Directions (No. 11), the Stay at Home Directions (Restricted Postcodes), the Stay Safe Directions (No. 3), the Diagnosed Persons and Close Contacts Directions (No. 4), the Hospital Visitor Directions (No. 7) and the Care Facilities Directions (No. 6);

(3) Restricted Postcode has the meaning in clause 4 of these Area Directions.8 Penalties

requirement made of the person, in the exercise of a power under an authorisation given under section 199.Penalty: In the case of a natural person, 120 penalty units; In the case of a body corporate, 600 penalty units.

(2) A person is not guilty of an offence against subsection (1) if the person had a reasonable excuse for refusing or failing to comply with the direction or requirement.
