From next Monday the dreaded 5km travel rule will disappear in NSW unless you're one of the unvaccinated residents who will have to wait until December 1 to leave the confines of your suburb.
This means those who make up the 70 per cent of vaccinated people in Greater Sydney will now be able to travel freely within the area, including to the Central Coast, Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Blue Mountains.
But residents of Greater Sydney will still be restricted from travelling to regional zones after the NSW government delayed this freedom until the next stage of re-opening when the 80 per cent fully vaccinated target is reached.

'For the purposes of minimising regional travel initially we don't want people in the Central Coast or Wollongong and Shellharbour, where there are significant case numbers, travelling into the regions,' former Deputy Premier John Barilaro said.
Those living in regional LGAs will be able to travel to other parts of the state but not enter the Greater Sydney region at this stage.
Caravan parks will also re-open as part of the relaxed restrictions, while carpooling will again be permitted in Sydney.
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet made the long-awaited announcement that the state had reached the 70 per cent fully vaccinated milestone
