Leaving the house to meet handymen / tenants

Does anyone know if the current isolation requirements allow us to leave the house to meet tradespeople (planning a bathroom renovation at an investment property) or to meet tenants (due to covid I'll probably have delays with the reno so would be good to get a short term tenant in there in the meantime).
Govt sites say you can only leave the house for work/groceries etc, no specifics on whether visiting your vacant investment property is allowed.

 

Do you self-manage the IP?

1. Private inspection is allowed - one on one only, by appointment basis, I let my PM arrange this.
2. Meeting tradesmen for quotations is arguably 'for work' (subjective)
You are doing 'work' - as running investment property = running a business.
You are potentially providing 'work' for the trades men.
The trades men are 'working' (e.g. doing site inspections and providing quotes)
And Construction industry is 'essential'

I don't have a definitive answer - but above should bail you out if being pulled over by cops?
