Out and about

Brimbank residents are enjoying a new level of freedom as they browsed the shops and enjoyed the cafes in the centre of Sunshine last week.

Sunshine’s town centre is open for the most shoppers than it’s had in months as restrictions on retail and hospitality ease – much to the delight of businesses.

Under the present COVID rules, restaurants and cafes are allowed 40 diners indoors and 70 outdoors.

Groups must be limited to 10 people, tables have to remain 1.5 metres apart from each other and they can socialise only with the people at their table.
