Novel Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)

COVID-19 impacts in 2021

The Reef Hotel Casino, located in Cairns stayed open throughout this period except for 3 days between 8 August and personal10 August inclusive due to Queensland Government mandated COVID-19 lockdown. It operated under varying

restrictions as imposed by the Queensland Government. The Reef Hotel Casino traded strongly throughout the year.

Local and domestic markets held up well. Since just before Easter, Cairns saw a return of interstate visitors in good umbers with some impact from the Melbourne, Sydney and Greater Brisbane lockdowns at various times during the year. In the last quarter, interstate visitors eased off due to imposition of and delayed lifting of Queensland border restrictions and then due to increased COVID-19 cases in Australia. International borders remained closed. The result

partly reflects a degree of short-term trading variability in table gaming. COVID-19impacts in 2020

23 March 2020 to 2 July 2020 - Shut down of Reef Hotel Casino

The Reef Hotel Casino, specifically the casino and food and beverage outlets, were shut down as directed by the Queensland Government from 23 March 2020, with hotel rooms following soon after. This shut down period represented 55% of the first half year of 2020 during which time there was essentially no revenue at the Reef Hotel Casino complex.

The Federal Government's JobKeeper program meant that while most staff were stood down, there were no redundancies.

For3 July 2020 - Reopening of the Reef Hotel Casino

The Reef Hotel Casino reopened for trading on 3 July 2020 and remained open and operational for the rest of 2020. The Reef Hotel Casino traded strongly during this period.
