Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on Friday that more NSW residents will be allowed to enter Queensland from 1:00am on Tuesday, November 3.

However, the greater Sydney area (which consists of 32 Local Government Areas, see list below) and Victoria will remain declared hotspots.

People who have been in a hotspot during the past 14 days will still not be allowed to enter Queensland.

The council areas declared hotspots in greater Sydney are:

Bayside, Blacktown, Burwood, Camden, Campbelltown, Canada Bay, Canterbury-Bankstown, Cumberland, Fairfield, Georges River, Hornsby, Hunters Hill, Inner West, Ku-Ring-Gai, Lane Cove, Liverpool, Mosman, North Sydney, Northern Beaches, Parramatta, Penrith, Randwick, Ryde, Strathfield, Sutherland Shire, Sydney, The Hills Shire, Waverley, Willoughby, Wollondilly and Woollahra and unincorporated Sydney Harbour.

NB. Until 1:00am on November 3,  all parts of NSW are still considered to be COVID-19 hotspots.
