On Tuesday, Premier Daniel Andrews announced there would be two different 'roadmaps' released on Sunday - one for metropolitan Melbourne and a second "that may have different components" for regional Victoria.
Mr Andrews said the roadmap would contain "a series of stages" and not include definitive dates or commitments.
"If we have the right settings and we do this properly, having properly defeated the second wave, then people will - as part of that long-term safe and stable COVID normal - be able to travel to regional Victoria," he said.
"People will be able to go and spend in regional Victoria, and have a freedom of movement that we've not really had at any point this year."
To the north Queensland has added two cases, taking their active case tally to 28.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the cases were linked to existing confirmed patients and they were in self-isolation.
NSW is expected to announce its figures about 11am.
