League operations manager Shane Railton said the proposed start date was still subject to the easing of restrictions and a crowd of at least 500 being able to attend matches.
"The general consensus was that clubs wanted a start date to aim for so we have provided that," Railton said.
"We are hoping restrictions have eased to allow crowds of a minimum of 500.
"Now we are now waiting for clubs to respond.
"We are not telling clubs they have to play. If for whatever reason clubs decide that don't want to play, that won't be an issue.
"I think most clubs will go ahead but that is yet to be determined."
