However unvaccinated residents will not be party to the new freedoms.

In fact restrictions for unvaccinated residents that were due to lift on December 1 have been pushed back to December 15 or when the state hits 95 per cent vaccination.

From November 8, fully vaccinated residents will be allowed unlimited visitors to their home.

Capacity limits will be lifted in favour of density limits in all settings except gym classes.

Indoor pools will reopen for all purposes.

Hospitality will be subject to two-square-metre density requirements.

Major stadiums and events will be allowed 100 per cent capacity.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet said the move was testament to health authorities and residents embracing vaccination.

He said by bringing the easing of restrictions forward it allowed businesses to reopen more fully.

Mr Perrottet said he hoped moving the date of freedom back to December 15 for unvaccinated residents would be an incentive for people to get the jab.
