Sydney's multi-billion-dollar construction industry will swing back into action on Saturday, except for eight Local Government Areas deemed high-risk Delta zones.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said construction is allowed on unoccupied sites on July 31, unless work sites are located in Fairfield, Canterbury-Bankstown, Liverpool, Cumberland, Blacktown, Parramatta, George's River and Campbelltown
A new system called contactless tradies will also allow some movement in and out of sites, Ms Berejiklian said.

"I want to stress that no construction activity can or will occur in those eight local occur in those eight Local government Areas but outside those areas, non- occupied construction can proceed and the government has worked with industry and with the input of health advice to make sure safety plans are in place.
"But it is one thing to have those plans and another thing to make sure you stick by those plans and I want to make that very clear."
Contactless tradies means tradies can come to a premise, if they do not have contact with anybody, and undertake work.
Works in occupied premises including residential homes can also resume from this Saturday where there is zero contact between workers and residents.
There will be a limit of up to two workers for indoor services and five workers for outdoor services, and works will only be possible where it is feasible for residents to vacate the area. If contactless arrangements are not possible, work cannot go ahead.
More details around the construction restrictions will be made available today, Ms Berejiklian said.
