Bill Tilley put the questionnaire on his Facebook page last Wednesday and as of Sunday had received around 500 responses.

The query 'do you believe masks should remain mandatory?' resulted in 13.5 per cent saying 'yes' and 86.5 answering 'no'.

Asked if there should be a time limit on masks, pending the containment of COVID, 57.2 per cent nominated an end date of December 1.

While 22 per cent stated they should come off only after 14 days of no community transmission, 17.1 did not want a finish time and 3.8 flagged December 31.

The other question centred on whether respondents would be agreeable to wearing masks in certain settings.

There was 39.2 per cent support for medical and aged care surrounds, 26.5 for when 1.5-metre distancing could not be done, 25.6 for supermarkets and shopping centres and 8.8 were not willing to don masks anywhere.

Mr Tilley said the survey reaction was in line with his expectation.

"The results were neither a shock nor a surprise given it's more than 100 days since the last COVID case on the Border and given that in the eight months since the start of the lockdowns outlying shires have seen zero cases," Mr Tilley said.

The Opposition MP plans to use the findings to lobby the Victorian government to loosen its requirement for masks to be worn whenever you're outdoors in that state.

Wodonga food delivery driver Ben Bell thought there would have been a "lot less saying it shouldn't be mandatory" to wear masks.

"I think it's a bit pointless wearing them when there's no-one else around; when's there's others around and people who aren't your family by all means wear them," Mr Bell said.

Wodonga Upper House MP Tim Quilty, who last week spoke in parliament of the prospect of Victorian having to wear masks in 40 degrees while NSW residents went bare-faced, was not surprised by the survey outcome.

The Liberal Democrat has queried Premier Daniel Andrews' comfort with NSW counterpart Gladys Berejiklian delaying the opening of the state border until 14 days after the lifting of the ring around Melbourne.

"I think they can open the border at least for regional Victoria, so I think the Premier is mistaken in his view," Mr Quilty said.

Mr Tilley said Mr Andrews needed to give assurances to NSW about contact tracing.

"The secrecy has to stop, he must advocate on our behalf if he truly has the interests of all Victorians as a priority," Mr Tilley said.
