NSW-Vic border bubble expansion a welcome relief for residents

Описание: The border bubble between NSW and Victoria is set to broaden on Friday, allowing residents living in border towns to move more freely.

Businesses in particular have been struggling under the 2.5 kilometre buffer zone with strict permits.

The new border zone will be extended to 50 kilometres and permit conditions will allow border town residents move across the border to obtain goods or services, to provide care and to attend work or school.

NSW and Victorian residents will be allowed to enter Victoria as long as they stay within the border region, however Victorians who have recently travelled to Melbourne will not be permitted to enter the border region.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she was able to make the decision to ease restrictions based on lowering case numbers in Victoria.
