Trade customers will still have access to stores, but retail customers will have to shop online and either have their purchases delivered, or collect them.Anthony Mundine fined for a second time after breaching NSW coroanvirus rules at a Bunnings."With the new restrictions on retail spanning a large part of Sydney, Bunnings has made the decision to temporarily close all its stores across Greater Sydney to the general public," Bunnings managing director Mike Schneider said.

"This is in support of the government and for the safety and security of team members, customers and the community. "We know from experience that applying a consistent approach across a metropolitan area is easier for our team to manage and helps reduce travel by residents between LGAs."Bunnings said it has implemented a number of COVID-19 safety measures since the pandemic began, including adding notifications on its app to remind customers to shop quickly, and upping security to promote compliance.

Bunnings stores in regional NSW will remain open with COVID-safe measures for customers to do essential shopping. The company's decision came after the NSW government announced Sydney's lockdown would be extended following 644 new COVID-19 cases being recorded across the state.

Imagine Sydneysiders being locked down like Melbourne, they are losing their shit but still go to the shops, we got nothing down here.

Crickey! When Bunnings closes you know the end of times is near. Bring on the zombie hoards.

Getting serious now in Sydney.

Good on them for being responsible, Gladys only wanted them shut in “areas of concern”, the whole of Sydney should be an area of concern, maybe all of NSW, because it’s run by overconfident idiots.

Well, that's some shit but I get it.

GladysB You need to step down mate…In a lockdown with 600+ daily cases why the hell would u want people roaming Bunnings? Sony have any brains?

9 weeks to late everyone should have been click and collect long ago

too late

Why do they start Monday everyone will just rush there before then

That's it put the last nail into the subcontractors. Dog act

Greater Sydney lockdown extended as NSW records 644 new locally acquired COVID-19 casesBREAKING The Greater Sydney lockdown will be extended until the end of September as NSW recorded 644 new local cases of COVID-19. “end of September”. Fuck!!, that is tragic. Such a huge body blow to small and medium sized retailers, hospitality and industry. Sydney and it’s entire population will be broke by then. The woman who screwed Australia Can someone please ask about so called support for businesses? We have applied but not received any of the much publicised support for businesses. We are still employing and still paying rent. Can you please ask when all NSW businesses will be able to receive publicised support.

Iconic Sydney restaurant goes into administrationOne of Sydney’s most iconic restaurants and late-night hangouts in Chinatown has become the latest victim to the state’s strict Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Only because they couldn’t negotiate a new lease agreement with the landlord. They will probably open up again in the future somewhere else. Another business shut because of Daniel Andrews. Damn. Unbelievable. My favourite restaurant next to Richard’s ‘Bambusia’ Bondi Junction. Can’t believe we are losing so many business’s. I feel so sorry for all these hard working people
