Storm players and officials will arrive in Albury on Tuesday ahead of its first training session at Greenfield Park on Wednesday following a frantic round of talks involving the NSW Government, NSW Chief Medical Officer, NRL and Albury Council.

The Storm, which was unbeaten after two matches when the season was shutdown due to COVID-19, had hoped to stay in Melbourne to resume training, but was forced to search for Plan-B when the Victorian Government knocked back exemptions to stay in the state.

The club will train at Greenfield Park this week before players, coaching staff and officials return to Melbourne to reunite with families at the weekend.

Premier Daniel Andrews' decision on whether to lift the state of emergency in Victoria next Monday will determine how long the Storm is based in Albury.

Players re-assembled in Melbourne on Monday for biosecurity briefings and testing when confirmation of the Albury training base approval came through.

Last minute discussions centred on Greenfield Park and a gym the club will use being at separate locations which was at odds with the competition's start-up plan needing all facilities to be located in the same spot.

Among a myriad of requirements, Storm players will also have to get a flu vaccination to be allowed into their training facilities.

"It's the first day of adapting to a really unique set of circumstances," Storm chief executive Dave Donaghy said.

"We are taking it as a week-to-week proposition which I think is a sensible approach.

"There are a lot of things we are not in control of."

The travel arrangements for players, coaching staff and officials from Melbourne to Albury by car or bus were also among last-minute plans ticked off.

"All our facilities have been sorted out," Donaghy said.

"Albury has got all the facilities we need, but where we train and the gym are not in the one spot which is unique."

Storm training sessions will be closed to fans.

The Storm training group will include 32 players and 18 football department staff.

"While we know we have many members and fans in the Albury region, unfortunately, because of the strict restrictions, our players and training venue will be off limits to the public," Donaghy said..

"For our players who have been apart for six weeks, the opportunity to bring them into an albeit different camp environment will have some real positives."

Players will have daily health checks and will be in their Wagga Road accommodation, or back at their home in Melbourne, unless at club training or match day.

Albury Council chief executive Frank Zaknich said the Storm training base plan had NSW Government approval.

"Subject to confirmation and a further briefing for Albury councillors, it is our understanding that the Storm squad will be fully isolated from the local community at all times in strict accordance with expert health advice, with the visitors required to have exclusive use of all facilities during their stay, while the public will be completely excluded from all contact with the entire squad, including their training activities," he said.

"The safety of our community is paramount and under the biosecurity arrangements as outlined to council and supported by the NSW Government, we are satisfied that the Storm's short-term presence in Albury will not present any increased risk to our community."

But, Cr Darren Cameron said he was concerned with Melbourne Storm training in Albury.

"In my view council should not be making available sporting facilities while our grassroots clubs of all codes are prohibited from playing," he said.

"I don't understand and I don't appreciate the suggestion that an elite level club should be treated differently to a local club.

"This is a serious matter and must be determined by elected councillors and not staff.

"This is not a simple matter of a sporting club applying to use a ground.

"It is a much bigger issue on matters of public health and safety."
