Premier Daniel Andrews has warned motorists travelling out of the city to expect longer wait times as police tighten checkpoints.

The premier said Melburnians should be inspired by the rolling back of restrictions, rather than disheartened.Melbourne will move to its next step of reopening on September 28 if the 14-day case average keeps falling to between 30-50.
