On Monday morning, local members of parliament met with cross border commissioner Luke Wilson to sort through some of the details.
Details clarified included the current border bubble, which is the same one used when NSW closed its borders in 2020, remains the same.
On Monday afternoon, the Victorian Government confirmed the bubble would stay at its current size.
Victorians from a border community can travel into NSW but can only venture within the border bubble.
A Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson also said those living inside the designated area on the NSW side of the Murray could travel freely in Victoria.
"People who live in a border community don't need a permit to travel, but must carry a valid form of ID with a current address when travelling," they said.
"Residents from the border bubble who have been beyond the NSW border region in the past 14 days will not be able to cross the border from NSW into Victoria - but provided they meet this criteria, both NSW and Victorian border residents are able to travel as they would for their normal day to day activities like work, shopping and eating out."
The Victorian Government has also announced all agriculture workers who live and work between NSW and Victoria – other than those already covered under the existing border bubble arrangements – can apply for a permit to enter Victoria to keep the state’s vital food and fibre supply chain moving.
Permitted agriculture workers entering Victoria must wear a face mask in all public places, get regularly tested for coronavirus, self-quarantine when not working and only leave their accommodation for takeaway food or drink, bathroom stops, medical care, to obtain a coronavirus test or in an emergency.
Victorian farmers and agriculture workers living outside the border bubble and re-entering Victoria after conducting work in NSW will be required to self-isolate for 14 days upon their return and get tested for coronavirus twice.
