Queensland residents reminded of border restrictions
Queensland residents planning on travelling interstate are being reminded about border restrictions in place for returning travellers.
Since, August 8, the Queensland border has been closed to anyone who has been in a COVID-19 hotspot (Victoria, New South Wales and ACT) in the previous 14-day period unless they receive an exemption.
Residents living in the declared ‘border zones’ can apply for a Queensland border declaration ‘X’ pass but will only be permitted to travel within the border zone in Queensland and New South Wales.
Motorists with ‘G’ passes are not allowed to enter Queensland via the roadway and will need to travel into Queensland via air or reapply for one of the other passes if they meet the criteria.
Gold Coast District Chief Superintendent Mark Wheeler said officers were still seeing motorists attempting to cross the Gold Coast/Tweed border checkpoints with invalid border passes.
