Ms Palaszczuk had previously said the decision on borders would be made on November 30, but when asked if that could be brought forward given the streak of no cases in southern states, the Premier said “let’s see”.
“I will give you an update tomorrow,” she said.
“I actually do things are looking positive, the most positive I have seen this year, so, look, fingers crossed if it continues that way, our roadmap says December 1, I am very encouraged that it will be a positive outcome for NSW and Victoria.
“Adelaide still has that cluster outbreak but I will get the advice from Dr Young tomorrow.”
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said “unfortunately some state premiers are kind of making up the advice as they go”.
The border between Victoria and NSW opened on Monday.
Queensland’s air border to Victoria has been closed since March 26, when the northern state locked itself away from the rest of Australia.
Queensland opened its border to all of NSW on July 10 before closing again on August 8.
Residents of regional NSW have been allowed back into Queensland since November 3 but Greater Sydney remains a declared hotspot.
