Queensland is set to expand the border zone into more areas of Northern New South Wales from 1 October 2020
ABC
News,
22 September 2020:
Queensland
is set to reopen its borders to parts of New South Wales after
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the state's border bubble
will soon include five additional local government areas.
From
1:00am on October 1, residents in Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore,
Richmond Valley and Glen Innes local government areas will be able to
travel into Queensland.
It
comes as the state recorded zero new coronavirus cases overnight,
leaving just 16 active cases.
The
extended border zone will include 41 New South Wales postcodes,
spanning 11 local government areas.
Residents
will have to apply for a border pass to travel into Queensland.
Queensland
residents will also be able to travel to those areas from October 1.
"I
think this is a great effort to consider how we can make our border
zones more effective," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"These
areas have a lot in common with Queensland, they do a lot of their
business in Queensland so we believe this is the right measure to
take."
CHO
flags easing of further restrictions
Deputy
Premier Steven Miles said there were 152,000 residents in the border
zones who would now be able to travel into Queensland.
"These
are people who might live in New South Wales, but many feel more of
an affinity with Queensland," Mr Miles said.
He
said the changes were possible because of the very low number of
coronavirus cases in regional New South Wales…..
While
I’m sure Scott Morrison will be quick to take full credit for this
extension of the border bubble, I strongly suspect that NSW Labor
MLA for Lismore Janelle Saffin (left) would have been working behind the scene to make this happen.
