In line with advice from the Victorian Chief Health Officer, the Victorian Government has announced that a number of postcodes will return to Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions from 11.59pm on Wednesday 1 July 2020.
This decision was made in response to increasing evidence of significant community transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19) in these postcodes:
The Suburbs
3012 (Brooklyn, Kingsville, Maidstone, Tottenham, West Footscray)
3021 (Albanvale, Kealba, Kings Park, St Albans)
3032 (Ascot Vale, Highpoint City, Maribyrnong, Travancore)
3038 (Keilor Downs, Keilor Lodge, Taylors Lakes, Watergardens)
3042 (Airport West, Keilor Park, Niddrie, Niddrie North)
3046 (Glenroy, Hadfield, Oak Park)
3047 (Broadmeadows, Dallas, Jacana)
3055 (Brunswick South, Brunswick West, Moonee Vale, Moreland West)
3060 (Fawkner)
3064 (Craigieburn, Donnybrook, Mickelham, Roxburgh Park, Kalkallo)
If you live in these locations, there will again only be four reasons to be out:
Shopping for food and supplies
Care and caregiving
Exercise
Study or work – if you can’t do it from home.
Wherever you can, you should do these things as close to home as you can. If you do need to leave your postcode, those same restrictions – those same four reasons – travel with you. If you live outside these locations, there’s only four reasons to come into these communities: shopping for food and supplies, care and caregiving, exercise, and study or work – if you can’t do it from home.
Eligible local businesses will be able access an initial $5000 in support from the government.
Based on the most up-to-date advice of the Chief Health Officer, students will return to school after the school holidays.

Staying Apart Keeps Us Together
The Victorian Government is backing regional accommodation businesses affected by the lockdown on some metropolitan suburbs with a fund to assist operators who will lose income due to cancelled bookings.
More than 300,000 Melburnians living in 10 postcodes are subject to strict stay at home orders until 11.59pm on 29 July, meaning many will be forced to cancel holidays they had previously booked at locations across the state.
Getting Behind Regional Tourism Businesses – And Families
The Victorian Government is backing regional accommodation businesses affected by the lockdown on some metropolitan suburbs with a fund to assist operators who will lose income due to cancelled bookings.
More tha 300,000 Melburnians living in 10 postcodes are subject to strict stay at home orders until 11.59pm on 29 July, meaning many will be forced to cancel holidays they had previously booked at locations across the state.
Minister for Industry Support and Recovery Martin Pakula announced that payments from a $5 million fund would be made available to regional businesses including motels, caravan parks and short-term rentals such as Airbnb properties that could demonstrate losses due to the new restrictions required to slow the spread of coronavirus.
Payments of up to $225 per cancelled booked night will be paid, with conditions including that full refunds are provided and no cancellation fees are levied.
The fund means that there is no good reason that families who had booked for precious time away in rural and regional Victoria and now have to cancel, through no fault of their own, will be out of pocket.
Accommodation businesses in 48 regional local government areas as well as the Yarra Ranges and the Mornington Peninsula shires will be covered for eligible bookings that were received from “hot zone” postcodes 3038, 3064, 3047, 3060, 3012, 3032, 3055, 3042, 3021, 3046 by 3pm on 30 June for the period 1 July to 29 July.
The $5 million support for regional accommodation businesses follows confirmation of one-off $5,000 payments that will be made available for eligible businesses in the 10 postcode areas subject to the return of Stage 3 restrictions.
Businesses that have received payroll tax refunds and waivers or $10,000 Business Support Fund grants are eligible for the further $5,000 grants.
Businesses can register for the $5,000 local lockdowns grant and the regional accommodation support fund at www.business.vic.gov.au.
