Venues on the Myall Coast are incredibly excited about the lift in the restrictions.

Ben Hanson, Tea Gardens Hotel publican told News Of The Area, “It’s a very positive step in getting towards the other end of COVID-19.

“A year ago many venues including our own had to shut down, and now here we are.

“We’re super excited to continue bringing live music and supporting the arts.”

With the lift in restrictions, patrons are still encouraged to social distance as much as possible, but visitors are being encouraged to support the live music acts that will be performing at various clubs, pubs and venues around the Myall Coast region.
