All contractors are limited to one site per week unless you're on the specialist contractors list then you're allowed at three, we're not on the list... so pick your best job and do that, then you're done for the week?
Here's the link to get you started: (if it doesn't work goto Landscaping Victoria Master Landscapers facebook page and start there.)

I'm taking the view that unless I see something from the relevant authority stating that gardeners can work, with full details, I am taking a 1 or 2 week holiday at home, not going to bust a boiler over it, and definitely not taking advise from some facebook page, where they don't need to pay the fine if we do the wrong thing.
I had a client ring me yesterday saying that her chemist said that I could work, LOL

That group are "kinda, not really" our governing body being that they are the ones who go into bat for us and meet with the government directly on our behalf representing the whole landscape industry in Victoria. Unfortunately they update their facebook page faster than their website and unfortunately they get the same on the fly unclarified responses we all read later on the government websites. What we can do is ring the Department of Jobs Precincts and Regions direct, but they can be clear as the media releases at best... record the conversation, keep the receipt number and act on that. But where's the fun in that! :ebony::ebony::ebony:

Re: Coronavirus + Business + You
here in Auckland, we are in lockdown for last 2 weeks, & possibly 2 more weeks.
only thing thats good is the resurgence payment of$1500 +$400 per employee per week & also a wage subsidy of$600 per week, so on $2500 /week for waiting.
Have had a few customers ring, but aint going out, as our police starting to fine people now.
growth will be horrendous tho, not looking forward to fist week back
