We made a trip out to Chadstone. I’ve had occasional coffees there over the past few months, but this time we lingered for a while. Subjectively, although there were plenty of people eating, the shopping crowd still has quite a way to go before it returns to pre-Covid levels (although we were there on a weekday during school term). Certainly, the premium shopping area was quiet, with no queues at all – except at Louis Vuitton (not sure why this should be so). Seemingly the absence of overseas high-spenders is being noticed.
There were prominent signs at the entrances requiring facemasks to be worn, and generally, the level of compliance seemed to be high.
