Victoria will be reunited as one state with the travel restrictions on Melburnians lifted as active COVID-19 cases continue to ebb.
Premier Daniel Andrews will scrap a 25km travel limit on city residents and take down Melbourne's "ring of steel" from midnight after the state went nine days without a new COVID-19 case.
"Victoria will be once again be united as one single state," he told reporters on Sunday.
"The 25km travel limit will go, the Melbourne-regional Victoria border comes down, families will be able to be together again.
"We know that so many people have missed those that they love the most, those who they need to see, been desperately keen to see for such a long period of time."
The premier announced that two visitors plus their dependents will be allowed to visit another home per day, while a 10-person limit will remain on public gatherings outdoors.
At hospitality venues 70 people will be allowed outdoors keeping two metres from each other and 40 people indoors keeping a four-metre distance.
Mr Andrews said a next step on easing hospitality restrictions would be taken in a few weeks.
"It can't be done open slather because whilst these numbers are good what we've all built together is fragile, precious and fragile, and it has to be safeguarded," the premier said.
"And that's exactly what all of these decisions do."
Up to 50 people outdoors and 20 people indoors can attend religious gatherings, but a 10-person limit on weddings, not including the couple, the celebrant and a photographer will remain.
Aged care residents can be visited by one household per day for two hours, and partners can visit maternity wards indefinitely.
Up to 20 people in total and 10 per space will be allowed in gyms, while up to 20 people will be allowed per space in libraries, community centres, galleries, museums and cinemas.
Mr Andrews said caps on meat, poultry and seafood workers will be lifted, but anyone who is able to work from home must continue to do so.
"The time will come when we can change that but that is not now. I cannot speculate when that will be," the premier said.
Travel freedom is set to expand again when the NSW border reopens to Victorians on November 23.
The 14-day average for daily cases in Melbourne sits at 0.4 and there are two cases with an unknown source.
Health Minister Martin Foley said an enforcement blitz on businesses posing a high risk of COVID-19 transmission had found issues at 121 of 784 premises checked on Saturday.
He said 36 infringement notices and 14 warnings had been issued with 47 matters being followed up again on Sunday.
"The enforcement officers will be out again today and will continue to be out as we carefully and sustainably reopen," Mr Foley said.
The run of low or zero cases has allowed Victoria to welcome the first international flights to Melbourne since June 30, with the resumption of flights from New Zealand from Monday.
Meanwhile, a long-awaited report has suggested improvements to the state's quarantine program.
Among the hotel quarantine inquiry's 69 recommendations is that returning overseas travellers should be able to quarantine at home, potentially with an electronic ankle or wrist bracelet to track their movements.
Victoria's second wave, which resulted in more than 18,000 infections and 800 deaths, has been traced to outbreaks among staff at the Rydges and Stamford Plaza hotels.
Victoria's COVID-19 death toll is 819, and 907 people have died from the virus across Australia.
