PET & ANIMAL EXPO SUNDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2021
The annual Pet & Animal Expo is a popular free community event run by Wyndham City. Highlights
include the Animal Area which features animal tricks, and agility displays as well as an introduction
to native wildlife.

There are exhibitor stalls selling pet related products and services. This is an outdoor event and the
community are encouraged to bring along their well-behaved dogs. Wyndham City Animal
Management Team also are in attendance to provide information on responsible pet ownership and
encourage registrations.

Wyndham City is committed to providing a COVID safe event and Wyndham City will abide by all
current restrictions and guidelines as set by the State Government of Victoria.

Safety of our staff and residents is our primary focus in planning our annual Pet & Animal Expo. In
development of this plan, we have produced two key documents which outline in further
detail the event-specific public health measures and controls that we have considered and will
implement. These documents should be read in conjunction with this COVIDSafe Plan for a detailed
outline of the safety considerations of this experience:

Pet & Animal Expo 2021– Risk Assessment (Appendix 1)

Pet & Animal Expo 2021– Conditions of Entry (Appendix 2)

The following actions will be implemented to mitigate the introduction and spread of COVID-
19 at the Pet & Animal Expo 2021 and are applied across the four COVIDSafe risk controls as set out
by the Victoria State Government (https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/public-events). Wyndham
City Events Unit will continually review this plan and update accordingly.

     •     Attendee management
     •     Cleaning and hygiene
     •     Workers, vendors and subcontractor safety

 processes to plan and deliver COVIDSafe events.

 •       How will you ensure general governance arrangements are widely understood by all
         facilitators of the event?
 •       How will you monitor the Victorian Government’s latest public health advice and incorporate
         it into your planning?
 •       How will you ensure that attendees are provided with key public health messages and advice
         to stay at home if unwell?
 •       How will you enable clear and detailed record-keeping to facilitate contact tracing?
 •       How will you assess and mitigate flow on implications to any surrounding local communities?
