Travel radius expanded, hairdressers to reopen, auctions to resume as Victoria's restrictions ease

The change is among several restrictions that are being relaxed in the city, which has been under lockdown for more than 100 days.

We have escaped that awful eventuality. With modest acts of greatness and kindness, we have endured this — together.I know these changes can't be absolutely everything everyone wants. But they are the steps we can safely take that will make life a little bit easier. And in good news for those sizing up the scissors or cautiously contemplating a buzzcut — hairdressers will be able to open, with strict safety protocols in place.

These indicators help tell us the story that sits behind a case — and understand how we can safely make our next moves. Under this step, all remaining retail will open. Restaurants, cafes and pubs will open. And personal and beauty services will be able to offer treatments to clients — as long as a face mask can be worn.

And unfortunately, for now, that's off the cards. As we've seen this week, this virus is wildly infectious — and we all need to help protect the hard-won gains of our regional communities.From tonight, regional libraries and toy libraries will be able to open to a maximum of 20 people indoors.

BeaBettyK Absolute insanity. Australia seems to be the testing ground to see how far 'they' can push their sinister agendas. Where is the upraising?

The Dan sheep are blind to fact his government has overseen a death rate 10x the rest of Australia combined, never back up their argument with facts, much like Dan’s government, they just abuse people who have a different view.

we reopen Monday but have a Public Holiday Friday---another kick in the guts for businesses and just a way to have a couple of long weekends for tradies and unionists because on Cup Weekend near November 1 there will be another long weekend - so four consecutive long weekends

why cant the metro boundaries close to regions have a border restriction like Albury Wodonga. For Sunbury residents they cannot go west to Gisborne. Where was Josh Bull the local member on this decision

samstrades Must.....have...Auctions

Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the evidence in her two short reports that the coronavirus is manufactured and spread intentionally by the Chinese Communist Party. Video:

they havent said how many people will be allowed to gather outdoors (not outdoor entertainment) after november 1st, any insight?

So one can have multiple people inside a toy library but hey, when it comes to religious services like catholicmelb Saturday Vigil or Sunday Masses, no one can be inside a far larger Church, even if SocialDistancing employed. DictatorDan wants to control us and won't let go.

All these poor people whining bc they cant go back to complete normality when European countries have 40,000 cases a day still. Christ in a cupcake Karen suck it up

I simply cannot understand the whining and petulance. Lockdown worked but we arent out of the woods. Why is this so hard to understand?

No gyms, ten people at a wedding, no friends over. I bet the cops will still be out and about abusing all this new found power they have Once these BS lockdowns lift, don't ever expect people to submit to this crap again. LOCK DAN UP

Very exciting news - congrats to all Victorians and stay safe!

Wow. Still cant get out of Melbourne. No tourism on the coast still. What a farce. ResignDanielAndrews

A news agency can sell clothes at their store, yet a small clothes store cannot. The unscientific standards imposed on poor business owners is an utter f&%king joke. Opens to hair salons 1 day after that hair salon opened in protest, clap clap Andrews, corrupt germ.

ozhomeschool The Covid19 virus has measuring tape when it can tell, when to become infectious and not, what an insult to intelligence. Which spin-doctor is writing Dan's PR script to the Media to diffuse opposition?

ozhomeschool What a joke, KimIlDan behaves like a prison warden giving and taking prisoner movement rights. The Media is not affected by these tyrannical laws or is there a fix to let this unconscionable edicts go free?

So the 4 essential reasons for being out of home, have been removed too?

More has been taken from Victorians because somebody in your administration used dodgy security company, and nobody knows who. That's how bad your administration is. W he w old any small business stay in Victoria

Does this mean I have to get a trim now?

And gyms?

Holy crap I can get a haircut .. couldn’t come soon enough I’m looking like a troll 😂😂😂

O, make it 26.

25km is so draconian........ like a pat on the head . If we can be Covid safe we can be Covid safe within ALL metro Melb ‘like’ ‘retweet’ if you agree melbournelockdown2020 25kmmadness

Great news! Hoping numbers come down so retail/businesses can open up even earlier

New Zealanders caught flouting travel bubble rulesSeventeen Kiwi travellers who landed in Sydney have been caught entering Melbourne on day one of a travel bubble set up between NSW and New Zealand. So......Melbourne is stopping healthy ppl from coming in!?!? Which only shows how negligent the federal government has been with its quarantine duties from the beginning of the pandemic. Contracting their constitutional responsibilities to the states should not be tolerated. They should know better. Not good enough.

Emotional scenes as first 'no-quarantine' flights arrive into Sydney under new trans-Tasman travel bubbleThe arrangements are not yet reciprocal, with New Zealand requiring arrivals from Australia to quarantine for two weeks. NZ population better hope they are quarantined on arrival back in NZ - Sydney is NOT COVID free auspol COVID19 But it’s only one way. Need to open up with passengers flying to and from both NZ and Australia otherwise it’s a waste of time. Australia Birmo KKeneally MrKRudd With the 12 new cases non traceable hope they dont take it back to NZ !!
