NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed a 50-kilometre border zone will be implemented from Friday.

She said residents would again be able to cross the NSW-Victorian border for daily life.

Ms Berejiklian said the government was trying to be as accommodating as possible, but unfortunately wherever the line was drawn some communities would be left out.

She said discussions were currently under way on whether communities like Wangaratta and Culcairn would be included in the new zone.

Ms Berejiklian said officials were aware of the additional locations, and some could be added in after Friday.

The Premier would not foreshadow when the border would reopen, but said they would not have the border closed for a day longer than necessary.

"Pleasingly having obviously heard the sustained concerns of the community and seeing the rates of infection... decline, from this Friday this border will be extended," she said.

"From Friday life will be much easier and less stressful for people on the border."

Ms Berejiklian said she received advice recently a person had tested positive for COVID-19 and was being treated in Wodonga.

She said a number of close contacts were identified on both sides of the border.

Ms Berejiklian said she was "not sure" if the case was the person who visited the army barracks in Wodonga on August 18 and later tested positive.

Ms Berejiklian said it was hard for the NSW government to get information from Victoria around infection rates.

"It has been difficult for us to get information from the other side of the border on rates of testings...," she said.

Ms Berejiklian said NSW did not have the same level of confidence in the Victorian system because they were not in charge of it.

"We don't have complete transparency on what's happening on the other side of the border because we don't have control of contact tracing there," she said.

Ms Berejiklian said just because she wasn't physically on the border every day did not mean she didn't think and worry about the border community.

She said she would be back in Albury soon.

Ms Berejiklian said closing the NSW-Victorian border was the hardest decision she had made.

"Absolutely I regret the way the community feels they didn't have enough notice," she said.

But the situation in Victoria changed quickly Ms Berejiklian said.

"I hope my visit today is a sign about how much I care about the community...," she said.

Member for Albury Justin Clancy welcomed Ms Berejiklian and said the closure had been a challenge for all communities along the border.

"Our communities have been tested," he said.

"It is testing the strength of our communities."

Mr Clancy said 'we are one community' and looking forward to recovery.

Earlier today, Ms Berejiklian said she hopes the latest permit redesign would be the final change to the cross-border system.

Speaking on radio 2AY on Tuesday morning before boarding a plane from Sydney to Albury, Ms Berejiklian was apologetic over the Victorian border closure.

"We're hoping now that pretty much everybody will need just the one permit for the duration of the border closure," Ms Berejiklian said.
