Life in Australia will move one step closer to normality from Wednesday as several strict coronavirus rules in New South Wales are scrapped.
Limits on the number of punters inside cafes and restaurants are being lifted altogether in the state, community sport will restart and cinemas can open their doors.
From July 1, outdoor sporting and cultural venues which have room for 40,000 guests are allowed to host up to 25 per cent of their normal capacity in NSW.
Two of the country's largest cinema chains - Hoyts and Palace Cinemas - are also reopening their doors nationally on July 2.
Movie theatres will have to follow strict 1.5-metre distancing rules in their screenings, while staggered sessions will give staff time to disinfect facilities.
Restaurants and cafes in NSW are meanwhile welcoming more customers through their doors as the government scraps its 50-person limit on indoor venues and instead replaces it with the one person per four-square metre rule.

Community sport in the state - including representative and recreational leagues - can also restart, allowing thousands of local amateur to teams to get back in action.
Amid a surge of COVID-19 infections though in Victoria and the implementation of localised lockdowns, contact sport in the state is not allowed and only ten people can gather for outdoor recreation.
NSW's limit on gatherings will remain unchanged at 20 guests for houses and the same number for outdoor get-togethers.
Outdoor gathering limits in Queensland, the ACT and Tasmania are set at 20, 100 and 500 people respectively.
However, music festivals and nightclubs will remain closed in most states as they have been deemed to be risky to reopen during this time.
Nightclubs are already open in the Northern Territory, with Queensland clubs also allowed to reopen - but with strict social distancing in place.

Queenslanders are also in for a treat with amusement parks, zoos and concert venues reopening from July 10.
Most zoos and museums have already reopened across Australia - including Sydney's world famous Taronga Zoo.
Venues will be restricted to just 100 guests at one time but the government will consider a proposal to change to a one person per two square metres rule at Friday's National Cabinet meeting.
Queensland will also reopen its borders on July 10, but Victorians will be forced to quarantine in hotels - paid for out of their own pocket.
Domestic tourists can still go between NSW, the ACT and Victoria without any restrictions on their movement.
