The Brisbane,Ipswich,Logan,Moreton Bay,Redlands,Gold Coast,Somerset,Lockyer Valley,Scenic Rim,Sunshine Coast and Noosa council areas will enter the so-called second stage of the path from lockdown until 4pm on Friday,August 27.
The Cairns and Yarrrabah local government areas will join the rest of the state in stage three. Here is what the roadmap lays out.
What is changing?
The most significant changes will be to mask-wearing and gathering capacity limits across private homes,public spaces,businesses and venues. Community sport will also be able to return.
Advice against travel to other regions of the state for those in the recently locked-down local government areas in the south-east and Cairns region will also be lifted.
So can I ditch the mask?
Not quite. People in the 11 south-east LGAs will need to carry a mask all times when leaving home,unless they are medically exempt.
