Meanwhile, Premier Daniel Andrews declared yesterday's result a "cause for great optimism and positivity right across metropolitan Melbourne".
"That is proof positive beyond any question that this strategy is working," he said on Sunday.

Mr Andrews said the path towards easing rules would be constantly reviewed, but he's standing by his "safe and steady" approach.
"There's no good opening up too early. There's no good letting our frustrations get the better of us," he said.
"All that will mean is that everything metropolitan Melbourne has given, everything that everyone has done to produce these low, but still not low enough, numbers will count for nothing."
