Roadmap to easing restrictions (Stage 1)

Why are these restrictions different to those in other states and territories?

The states and territories all have different considerations and are at different stages in their response to COVID-19.

It was agreed at National Cabinet that the states and territories are responsible for implementing and rolling back restrictions for their own states and territories.

It is because Queenslanders have understood and cooperated with our restrictions and directives so well that we can now look to start gradually easing restrictions within our state.
