Victoria will downgrade the Brisbane, Gladstone and Byron Bay areas from orange to green zones from midnight.
The change means people travelling from those areas to Victoria will no longer need to quarantine and get tested upon arriving in the state.
Once that kicks in, every part of Australia and New Zealand will be considered a green zone under Victoria s travel permit system.
