The Queensland Government says it is hesitant to announce a Gold Coast-Tweed border bubble due to new COVID-19 cases in Byron Bay. 

Frustration has been expressed by Tweed locals that the upcoming testing requirements upon entering the Queensland border would be impractical for residents living on the Southern side of the border. 

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the Government is considering the Byron Bay case in their decision on border bubble restrictions.
