Queensland Police have explained the current Queensland border restrictions and those which which come into effect at 1:00am on Saturday.
All travellers from a State or territory WITH a declared COVID-19 hotspot (currently Victoria and from 1:00am Saturday, also NSW) are required to complete a Queensland Border Declaration Pass prior to entry.
Also, from 1:00am Saturday, anyone travelling to Queensland from a State or Territory WITHOUT a COVID-19 hotspot within Australia or from New Zealand will be required to complete a new Queensland Travel Declaration.
Travellers required to complete a Queensland Travel Declaration must do so within the 72 hours before entering Queensland. The pass is then valid for 14 days.
An exception is provided for Queensland or NSW border zone residents who have only been in the NSW border zone or Queensland in the previous 14 days and are entering Queensland by road – these people are not required to complete a Queensland Travel Declaration or a Queensland Border Declaration Pass.
A spokesperson said police were continuing to conduct random intercepts of vehicles entering Queensland by road and and have a high-visibility policing present at Queensland airports.
Police may ask travellers to produce a copy of their travel declaration pass.
Anyone who blatantly fails to provide a Queensland Travel Declaration could receive a Penalty Infringement Notice of $1334.
