For the first time since March, there will be no limit on household visitors, and 100 people will be allowed at all public gatherings, indoor and outdoor, respecting the one person per four square metres rule.

Here's what to know about what you can and can't do, from noon on Friday:

It's good news for Canberra's hospitality industry as venues are allowed to have a maximum of 100 people per indoor or outdoor space, excluding staff.

Groups of up to 20 people are able to dine in at venues and people are also allowed to enjoy a drink without needing to order a meal, but they must be seated in groups of up to 10 people.

And Canberra's wineries are open to the public with cellar doors allowed to host wine tastings without food for groups of up to 10 people.

It's a good idea to make bookings and also let venues know as soon as possible if you need to cancel.

Canberrans are encouraged to continue working from home if possible, and universities, CIT and other vocational programs can start to increase face-to-face classes.

The arts and culture industry was one of the hardest hit by the restrictions but will begin to start up again from Friday.

Live performances for up to 100 seated people are allowed, but performers will need to wait a bit longer to start crowd-surfing and instead maintain a distance of 1.5 metres from the audience.

Cinemas, arcades, outdoor and indoor play centres can reopen, observing the one person per four square metres rule.

Canberra's galleries, museums, attractions and national institutions can restart guided tours for groups of up to 20 people, excluding the tour guide, but tours should not run for longer than two hours.

Keno and TAB facilities can reopen in licensed venues, but poker machines will remain closed at this stage.

Community sport was one of the first things to go when restrictions started but now it's back on, mostly.

Full-contact sports players will be allowed to restart training, while touch footballers, hockey players, netballers, and other light-contact sports players should get ready to lace up their shoes and re-join their teams as competitions are given the green light.

Swimming pools can open to a maximum of 100 people, with four swimmers allowed per lane.

For people who prefer to train solo, circuit training, individual weight training and use of all gym equipment is now allowed.

People should keep the "get in, train, get out" mantra in mind and avoid gathering in communal areas before or after their gym sessions.

Saunas and steam rooms will stay closed until a later stage.

Places of worship and religious services are allowed to have up to 100 people, including church leaders, choirs, and musicians.

Using collection plates and sharing books should be avoided during services.

And Canberran couples can host up to 100 people at their wedding celebrations, excluding those conducting or assisting in the ceremony.

Funerals can have up to 100 mourners, or one person per four square metres.

Dog parks, skate parks and campgrounds can reopen and hiking in national parks is permitted.

The Namadgi National Park and the Honeysuckle Creek, Mt Clear, Orroral and Woods Reserve campgrounds remain closed for the time being, to continue with bushfire recovery efforts.

And libraries will be allowed to have one visitor per four square metres throughout the space, including staff.

All public gathering venues need to have a COVID safety plan, and as part of this most places will require visitors to provide their first name and phone number to be recorded with the date and time they were there.

These details can be destroyed after 28 days but records are needed to assist with tracing community transmission of potential cases.

The second half of 2020 is shaping up and as restrictions start to ease Canberrans are reminded that it's important to keep maintaining physical distancing of 1.5 metres, practice good hand hygiene, stay home if unwell and get tested if you have any COVID-19 symptoms.
