The next phase of Western Australia's COVID-19 roadmap out lockdown has been outlined with a number of restrictions to be eased on Saturday, June 27.
The two square metre rule will still be in place but the capacity limit on all gatherings is set to be removed as part of Phase Four.
Many Western Australians will be excited as patrons will now be able to stand up and have drinks at the bar without ordering a meal and unseated performances will be permitted.
Major events can now occur with large stadiums such as Optus and RAC Arena reopening for events, but only at 50 per cent capacity.
The casino floor at Crown will also reopen for gambling, but every second machine will be switched off.

In a press conference on Monday, Premier Mark McGowan said Phase Four is a big step forward for WA.
"WA is still the only state without the problematic four square metre rule, and now we go even further by removing most of our remaining restrictions in Phase Four," he said.
"We can only do this thanks to WA's success in minimising the spread of COVID-19, and our hard border with the eastern states."
Depending on infection rates in WA, Phase Five is planned to be introduced on Saturday, July 18 and will result in the removal of the two square metre rule.
It is also expected to see the removal of all gathering restrictions, other COVID-related rules introduced by the state government and the 50 per cent capacity limit for major venues.
