Border Zones – Covid-19
Balranald (Area) 15 Oct 2020

The PHO has now been remade and gazzetted – included the changes for the Murray River Exemption brought in early in the week; allows for Boarding school students to travel by land and includes new localities in the border region map  with the changes being on the Victorian side.

An amended Public Health Order which addresses the issues for people transiting through Victoria from South Australia via the Sturt Highway and entering NSW via the Chaffey Bridge, and passengers from the Spirit of Tasmania transiting through Victoria to NSW, are in the process of being gazetted and will take effect from 16 October.
