Premier Daniel Andrews has revealed the government's pathway out of Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne and Stage 3 throughout regional Victoria.
Melbourne residents will see Stage 4 lockdown extended by at least another two weeks under the government's roadmap to reopening the state.
These include public gatherings being increased to a maximum of five people from two households, a staggered return of some students, reopening of childcare, and a number of industries being able to return to work. The final stage, planned for introduction on 23 November if there are no new cases recorded in the state for 14 days, will see outdoor gatherings of 50 people and most restrictions dropped."This is not a 50-50 choice," Mr Andrews said.
Outside of metropolitan Melbourne, regional Victoria will move to the second step from 14 September. Public gatherings of five people from two households will be allowed, childcare will open, and students will return to classroom learning.
