20.01.2022 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VICTORIAN TRAVELLERS AND BORDER COMMUNITIES - NSW will not be closing its borders (as per NSW Premier Berejiklian’s media statemen...ts) - NSW residents in border communities will have different requirements, recognising the daily interaction of residents with Victoria. - For NSW residents living along the Victorian border, the five-day stay-at-home requirement will only apply to people who have visited Greater Melbourne after 11.59pm on Friday 12 February. It will not apply to NSW border residents who travel into regional Victoria. - The border community is defined by the map which was used for the large border ‘bubble’ arrangements at the end of the NSW-Victorian border closure last year. This will be available online soon and we will share when available. - Under the state-wide Order, anyone arriving in NSW from Victoria after 11.59pm on Friday 12 February 2021 must remain at their home or place of residence for the five-day period announced by the Victorian Government. - People arriving in NSW from Victoria by air, rail or road (with the exception of people living in the border area) will also be required to complete an online declaration form.

02.01.2022 Eden-Monaro COVID-19 Update, 6:00 PM, January 2 Plenty to take in again today as COVIDSafe plans between NSW - Victoria and the ACT evolve and become part o...f our life for the time being. Local businesses are carrying all this particularly hard; another summer disrupted by circumstances beyond their control. I hope this overview helps with some of the local questions and concerns I've been seeing and hearing from north, south, east and west across the #MightyEdenMonaro. Whatever your circumstances please stick with the COVIDSafe rules that have helped reduce the risk so far. And if you can please support our local business community. Keep talking, keep connected, keep informed - the strength of this community continues to be tested but also reinforced. BORDER BUBBLE ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN NSW & VICTORIA If you are a resident of a border community who has not left the border area in the last 14 days you can travel to another border community in the ‘border bubble’ without a permit - using your drivers licence to prove your residential address. This means people who live in one border community - for example, East Gippsland - do not currently need to apply for a permit to visit a NSW border community. Residents of the following border communities are exempt from needing a permit to travel within the NSW - Victorian border bubble: NSW: Albury City, Balranald, Bega Valley, Berrigan, Broken Hill, Edward River, Federation, Greater Hume, Hay, Lockhart, Murray River, Murrumbidgee, Snowy Monaro, Snowy Valleys, Wagga Wagga, Wentworth. VICTORIA: Alpine Valley, Benalla, Bendigo, Buloke, Campaspe, East Gippsland, Gannawarra, Indigo, Loddon, Mildura, Moira, Shepparton, Swan Hill, Towong, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Yarriambiack. NOTE: Visitors cannot leave the ‘border bubble’ when visiting or they will considered to be returning from a red zone. ACT BORDER ARRANGEMENTS FOR NSW REGIONAL AREAS There are currently no restrictions for people who intend to travel to the ACT and have not been in a COVID-affected area of NSW. Those NSW COVID-affected areas are Northern Beaches, Greater Sydney, Central Coast and Wollongong Local Government Areas. Regional NSW communities surrounding the ACT are not currently classed as 'COVID-affected'. If you have been to one of those affected areas, do not visit the ACT unless you have an exemption. More info here - https://www.covid19.act.gov.au/community/travel/nsw ACT Policing are stopping cars entering Canberra on the Federal Highway and other locations to speak with people about the ACT's Health Directions and any quarantine requirements. Delays are expected.
