A letter from the New South Wales government proves the NRL has the green light to resume play next month, although it must meet a number of safe workplace requirements.

The letter, dated April 8th and signed off by NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller, was sent to Australian Rugby League chairman Peter V'landys.

AAP obtained a copy of the letter which outlines all the regulations the NRL must comply with, which include having no more than 500 people at the venue.

However, the letter states that there is no impediment to matches resuming if they are played in empty stadiums and involve only NSW-based teams.

Earlier this week, the NRL said it's hoping to get play back underway by the end of May.
