Victoria's Attorney-General Jaclyn Symes reported, via social media, that Edward River Council will be returned to the border bubble at the same time.
NSW Member for Murray Helen Dalton's office has since received confirmation, via NSW Cross Border Commissioner James McTavish.
Edward River was among the NSW council areas declared an extreme risk and removed from the border bubble by the Victorian Government on September 1.
If you live in the cross-border community – and you haven’t left the cross-border area or you haven’t been in an Extreme Risk Zone any time in the previous 14 days – you can cross the border and enter Victoria without a permit for any reason.
This excludes Albury, which is currently in lockdown.
As part of Victoria's roadmap out of Covid-19 announced by premier Daniel Andrews today, the Chief Health Officer has declared that 66 Local Government Areas in NSW, plus Jervis Bay, will move from an Extreme Risk Zone to a Red Zone under Victoria’s travel permit system.
“We know that communities along the border have seen a lot of changes to the system, but it’s good news that most border residents will be able to use the permit exception that used to be in place," Minister for Health Martin Foley said.
"And additionally, many Victorians who have been in regional New South Wales will now be able to come home to isolate in Victoria."
Those Victorians returning home must isolate for 14 days and get tested regularly.
