Preparations begin for reopening of NSW-Vic border after 137-day COVID closure

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has praised the NSW-Victorian border communities for their patience on the eve of border restrictions being lifted after more than four months.

Speaking from the key border town of Albury, NSW, Ms Berejiklian said she understood what people had been through over the 137 days the border had been closed.

“We know how difficult this has been for our communities in the New South Wales-Victorian border regions to put up with the border closure,” she said.
