Organiser Jordan Thulborn has been keeping an eye on the changing regulations and believes a traditional-styled beer hall with about 800 revellers will be allowed by October 14.

"We are going ahead with Oktoberfest in some shape or form," he said.

"We have 10 different plans in place to cater to what's happening in three months time.

"A German beer hall with social distancing and table service is what we are looking at right now."

After speaking with Oktoberfest organisers around the state, Mr Thulborn said many have had to pull the pin on their beer festivals.

If all goes to plan, the Warrnambool event could be the only Oktoberfest celebration in the state.

"I think the town needs it," Mr Thulborn said.

"So many events have been cancelled and we want to give people something to look forward too."

Mr Thulborn said the hunt for a 1000 metre squared space to hold the event was on before he could make further plans. More details will come from the organisers in mid-July.
