Retail and hospitality will reopen this week and all other restrictions set to be eased on November 2 will be brought forward.
The second phase is expected to also deliver a significant step for the state towards the “COVID-normal” way of life.
Restrictions that had been set to be lifted on November 2 but will now happen earlier included the abolition of the four reasons to leave home, an increase of people able to meet outside to 10 and up to two people able to visit a home once per day.
Outdoor contact sport for those aged under 18 was also on the recovery road map from November 2 and a return for beauty services.
